Some 61 Formal RI Workers Dispatched to Brunei

JAKARTA - Indonesian manpower placement and protection agency (BNP2TKI) chief Moh Jumhur Hidayat on Monday saw off the departure of some 61 formal workers to Brunei Darussalam.

Jumhur said the 61 workers who would be employed in the building construction field were made up of 59 males and two females.

He said the 61 workers dispatched to Brunei on Monday were part of 400 who were going to be sent to the country in stages to work for Allison Engineering company.

The workers were dispatched by PT Windu Sarana Development as the executor of private Indonesian migrant workers.

Jumhur on the occasion encouraged the workers because they would have a very valuable work experience abroad.

"You all dare to change, because working abroad will be a valuable experience for you that is not possessed by every one," Jumhur said.

He expressed hope that the Indonesian workers would work in discipline way and obey the law, culture, and tradition in Brunei Darussalam.

Jumhur on the occasion also symbolically gave foreign labor card (KTKLN) to the Indonesian migrant workers.

"This is the card that should be possessed by each migrant worker before leaving to work abroad, and the card bearing the identity of the worker is given free by the state," Jumhur said.
