Trafficking Humans to Malaysia

Indonesian workers are still being sent to Malaysia illegally. According to data from the East Nusa Tenggara police, over 2,000 people from the region were victims of trafficking to Malaysia throughout 2015 and 2016. Lured by promises of large salaries, workers have returned home with physical injuries, with some even losing their lives. Children are also targeted and sold. Sadly, even those holding work permits are not immune to servitude. Tempo and Malaysiakini’s investigation since September 2016 exposed an organized network of human traffickers spanning between Malaysia and certain parts of Indonesia. Billions of rupiah have been spent on recruitment of illegal workers, involving identity forgers and immigration officials. Perpetrators in Malaysia remain impervious to the law. This report is a collaborative project between Tempo, the Tempo Institute and Free Press Unlimited.

Human Trafficking: a Continuing Tragedy

Yuli Ismartono*

President Joko Widodo's recent ratification of the ASEAN Convention Against Trafficking in Persons (ACTIP) at the annual regional summit, which recently took place in the Laotian capital city of Vientiane, is a positive and timely step in the fight against a despicable scourge in Indonesia.

In the last two weeks, the local media have been reporting the arrest of people-selling syndicates operating in Java, Kalimantan and areas of East Nusa Tenggara. The number of victims emerging as a consequence has been nothing short of shocking. One man alone was found to have bought and sold close to 100 minors in the past year, for a mere Rp1.2 million each. The victims would have ended up as forced labor or sold into prostitution rings, both inside the country and outside, in particular to Singapore and Malaysia.

Holidays in Hellish Traffic Jams

DJOKO Sasono, director-general of land transportation, deserves commendation for stepping down from his position over the recent unprecedented holiday traffic jams. His resignation gives hope that common sense still exists among public officials.

Traffic congestion during the combined holidays of Maulud, Christmas and the year end was far worse than those during Idul Fitri. Hundreds of vehicles meandered through the heavy traffic that began in Jakarta. It took, for instance, 17 to 22 hours from Jakarta to Bandung via the toll road, seven times the normal hours. The Jakarta-Cikampek stretch, which normally takes an hour, took 10 hours.
