Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia: Indonesian Migrant Workers Should Not Work in Malaysia Non-Procedurally
The Indonesian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Malaysia, Dato' Indera Hermono, as reported by Antara News, reminded Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) not to work in Malaysia without proper procedures or without proper regulations. He further stated that numerous vulnerable factors and risks arise from working in Malaysia without proper procedures, especially for domestic workers or domestic workers.
He also noted that in the past year, the Malaysian government has intensified law enforcement operations against unauthorized foreigners (PATI). PATIs caught at immigration are immediately deported to their countries of origin. The repatriation process is often time-consuming, requiring waiting for available flights. Consequently, these PATIs are often forced to spend the night at Malaysian airports awaiting their return in uncomfortable conditions.
In recent months, the government has received frequent reports from the public and Malaysian authorities of many Indonesian citizens being denied entry to Malaysia (NTL) on suspicion of engaging in non-procedural work.
Furthermore, Malaysian authorities have tightened surveillance at airports and ports, establishing a new agency called the Border Guard and Protection Agency (AKPS). AKPS strictly monitors foreigners entering Malaysia, especially those suspected of working or committing violations.
Indonesian citizens seeking employment in Malaysia must comply with regulations or work through official agencies for safety, such as PT BUANA SAFIRA ABADI. Working non-procedurally in Malaysia, without an official company like PT BUANA SAFIRA ABADI, not only carries the potential for arrest by authorities but also risks abuse by employers, such as lack of pay, abuse, and difficulty accessing healthcare if sick.
Foreign workers in the domestic or household sector in Malaysia face far greater risks than those in other sectors if they have non-procedural status. Hermono stated that there have recently been numerous reports of Indonesian domestic workers who have not been paid for 21 years, and of those who have been victims of abuse by their employers.
According to him, if Indonesia can resolve the issue of non-procedural domestic workers, the protection of Indonesian migrant workers abroad, especially in Malaysia, will be much better. Currently, Indonesia and Malaysia have a memorandum of understanding (MoU) regarding the protection of Indonesian migrant workers in the domestic sector. However, this MoU will be useless if Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia continue to work non-procedurally.
Following the correct (official) channels, such as PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI, and following procedures, is much cheaper than non-procedural ones. If the procedures are followed, employers are not allowed to charge fees. However, non-procedural procedures will inevitably incur high costs.
PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI is currently offering work opportunities in the domestic sector for women, following official procedures, without fees, without salary deductions, and with good facilities for meals and accommodation.
