JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal condemned the shooting of 5 Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) carried out by Malaysian authorities, causing 1 person to die.

The chairman of the DPR, the coordinator of the people's welfare sector (kesra), also highlighted the issue of the number of unprocedural PMIs. According to Cucun, there are still many PMIs for non-formal channels that cause the impact of derivatives on Indonesian workers.

"We hope that the Ministry of PPMI can immediately complete PR-PR related to PMI, including workers who go abroad without official channels like this," said Cucun, Saturday, January 29.

The PKB legislator assessed that the formation of a special ministry related to PMI showed President Prabowo Subianto's commitment to protect Indonesian migrant workers, which amounted very large.

In addition to the PMI violence issue, the big problem that is currently happening to migrant workers is the confinement to the criminal act of trafficking in Indonesian citizens in a number of countries that are forced to work as online gambling admins.

Therefore, he assessed that KP2MI must have a breakthrough to protect PMI so that it does not become tempted by the unprocedural route.

"There must be a breakthrough to save our citizens so that more and more people are tempted to work abroad unprocedurally, which then become victims of trafficking in persons, even to violence," said Cucun.
