JAKARTA - A number of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Abu Dhabi conveyed their outpouring (curhat) to the Vice President (Wapres) Ma'ruf Amin asking for help to be returned to the country.

This happened when the Vice President visited the service room at the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) Abu Dhabi at Al Yaqut Street, Embassies District, Plot 42, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (PEA), on Monday 5 February

"Yes, this is going home. But agents have not paid their wages," said Migrant worker from Jakarta, Yuni, to the Vice President, quoted by the Vice Presidential Secretariat (Setwapres) in Jakarta, in Antara.

In this friendly and hot conversation, the Vice President listened to the experiences of migrants while working in PEA.

Hearing the story, the Vice President immediately gave directions to officials at the Indonesian Embassy in Abu Dhabi to resolve it and provide the best protection for PMI regarding their rights.

"Please help take care of it," said the Vice President to the ranks of Indonesian Embassy officials Abu Dhabi.

The same thing was conveyed by PMI from Indramayu, West Java, Syeni, who chose to return to Indonesia because she wanted to start a business.

For this reason, Syeni hopes to get capital and business assistance so that she can get a permanent income in Indonesia.

"God willing, I don't want to return to being PMI. If you have capital, you want to do business at home," he said.

Hearing this, the Vice President also encouraged and said that in Indonesia at this time there has also been a lot of assistance for the workforce.

The vice president also encouraged PMIs to take part anywhere, both in making a living abroad and in Indonesia.

"I found that in Banyuwangi there were migrant workers in Saudi. Then when they returned to their homeland they were trained to produce their own MSMEs and they continued to sell them. At that time they did training," he said.

"I pray that mothers return to Indonesia safely, can gather with their families, and get a good income," the Vice President added.

Present to accompany the Vice President in this review, the wife of the Indonesian Ambassador to PEA Farida Husein Bagis, Ad Interim Business Authority Zaenal Abidin and Wife, as well as the Indonesian Consul General in Dubai K. Chandra Negara and his wife.
