CIANJUR - The family of Indonesian Migrant Workers from Cianjur, West Java, hopes that Yuyun (43) can be sent home soon because in 12 years in Saudi Arabia he was never allowed to go home and did not receive a salary.

Migrant worker's parents, Odi (80) said that his son went to work abroad assisted by sponsors and labor service companies in Jakarta since 2010 with placement in Saudi Arabia as a housemaid.

"In 12 years of working in another country, my son has never received permission to return to Indonesia and has never been given a day off, but we can still communicate via telephone," said Yuyun's father, a resident of Jati Village, Bojongpicung District in Cianjur, Antara, Wednesday, 27 July.

Yuyun told her family that in 12 years of working, she had never been paid. So far, the family has asked for an explanation and assistance from the company, but has not received any certainty.

The father of an Indonesian Migrant Worker from Cianjur, West Java, Odi asked for help at the Astakira Cianjur office to send his son home.

"We also ask for help from the government or the president through the Astakira Cianjur office, so that we can return our child who has not seen his family in Cianjur for a dozen years. We also hope that his salary while working is paid," said Odi.

Chairman of the DPC Astakira Cianjur, Ali Hildan said that he had received a power of attorney from Yuyun's family so that they could help him return to Cianjur and get his rights while working in Saudi Arabia.

Ali explained that coordination had been carried out with various parties, including the company that dispatched it and the Indonesian Embassy in order to immediately grant the request of migrant workers and their families to reunite in Cianjur.

"We have sent a letter to the company in Jakarta, to be responsible for repatriating migrant workers from Cianjur who have worked for a dozen years and do not get their right to return to Indonesia and their wages have not been paid while working," he said.

His party also asked the relevant agencies in Cianjur to the Center to take action against companies that are irresponsible and do not pay attention to migrant workers who are dispatched because Yuyun has worked for 12 years but has not received her rights.
