JAKARTA - Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI) Abdul Kadir Karding said his party was strengthening collaboration with cyber surveillance institutions to prevent criminal acts of trafficking in persons (TPPO).

"The collaboration is in order to comb through possible hoax news and dangerous promotions," said Karding in Binjai City, North Sumatra, Saturday.

The Minister of P2MI views the need to continue to collaborate with the agency considering the recruitment of illegal migrant workers using cyberspace as a promotional tool.

For this reason, his party cooperates with various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi), the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the police related to incorrect promotions regarding working abroad.

In preventing the TIP, Karding said that his party was also aggressively dismantling a network of illegal migrant workers.

"Yesterday's data, of the 546 people who were repatriated from Myanmar, as far as I remember, 137 people from North Sumatra, were in Binjai," said Karding.

Therefore, he continued, collaboration with all parties is needed. In addition to downstream prevention, through education and assistance so that they go abroad procedurally.

In addition, Karding views the importance of preventing at departure doors such as airports and ports to be able to profile PMIs dispatched by syndicates using a passport or tourist visa.

Karding said P2MI and its ranks collaborated with many parties to introduce what migrant workers were, how to get migrant workers to depart procedurally, and participate in assistance.

Likewise, he said, for areas that are pockets of Indonesian migrant workers such as Central Java, NTB, and Sumatra.
