Indonesia's lawmakers have called on migrant workers to be cautious of unscrupulous recruitment agencies that lure them into non-procedural work abroad.
The call comes as many Indonesian migrants face difficulties in securing formal employment contracts, often falling prey to agents who promise high-paying jobs but deliver instead meager wages and poor working conditions.
Lawmakers are urging migrant workers to verify the legitimacy of any job offer and to be wary of recruitment agencies that pressure them into signing contracts hastily.
The government has also been criticized for its handling of migrant workers, with many struggling to access essential services such as healthcare and education while abroad.
The lawmakers' warning is seen as an attempt to mitigate the risks faced by Indonesian migrant workers, who often find themselves in precarious situations while working abroad.
