NTB - The Manpower Office (Disnaker) of Mataram City said as many as 10 prospective Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) from Mataram were sent home because they were proven to have departed illegally.

Head of the Mataram City Manpower Office (Disnaker) H Rudi Suryawan said as many as 10 PMIs who were repatriated were accumulated for six months or from January to June 14, 2023.

"On April 3, 2023, the number of PMI candidates who were sent home for illegal departures was 8 people. But the number of people increased by two on June 14, 2023," he said in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Friday, June 16, was confiscated by Antara.

He said that the two PMI candidates who were last secured wanted to work illegally in Saudi Arabia. Both have been sent home to their families on June 14, 2023

"Our pick-up was carried out at the NTB Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2PMI), then we handed over to the family on the same day," he said.

He said the two PMI candidates who were repatriated were named Santhy Elita Sari, a resident of the Karang Tapen neighborhood, and Lilia Hulfiani, a resident of the old Gomong neighborhood.

The accumulated number of PMI candidates who were repatriated was 10 people from January-14 June 2023, still lower than the cases in 2022, as many as 11 people.

"We hope that there will be no more cases of repatriation so that the number does not increase," he said.

According to him, if you look at the number of cases of PMI candidates who have been sent home from Mataram City, it is lower than other regencies/cities that have reached dozens to dozens of people.

Rudi claimed that the condition was because the Mataram Manpower Office was actively conducting socialization and prevention efforts through urban villages and the environment to people interested in becoming PMI candidates to leave through official channels.

"God willing, we will not delay any recommendations, as long as they meet the applicable requirements and conditions. Those who are married must have permission from their husbands, if they have not, they must have permission from their parents," he said.
