JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin said there were more than 100 thousand Indonesian citizens who worked in Cambodia, both in the formal and informal sectors.
"There (Kambodia) was the last around 100 thousand people. The hundred thousand people, both those who work in certain sectors and those who support their food, their daily consumption," said Coordinating Minister Muhaimin Iskandar in Jakarta, Monday, October 27, responding to the large number of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) who work in Cambodia and try to escape from the country.
His party noted that many Indonesians work in the culinary sector in Cambodia.
"That's why there is Soto Lamongan, there is rujak cingur, Pecel Madiun. There are many there," he said.
In fact, Cambodia does not yet have official cooperation with Indonesia which guarantees the safety and rights of migrant workers from Indonesia.
On this occasion, he also highlighted the high potential for exploitation and criminal acts of trafficking in persons against migrant workers who do not go through official channels.
The government also continues to coordinate with the Indonesian Embassy in Pnomh Penh so that no Indonesian citizens are victims of trafficking in Cambodia.

He asked the public not to be easily tempted by work offers to Cambodia because the country is not the destination country for PMI placement.
"We continue to campaign and socialize that Cambodia is not a safe place for our migrant workers," said Muhaimin Iskandar.
