According to the Manpower and Transmigration Ministry, there are 21 Indonesian migrant workers facing death sentences abroad. Fifteen of them had been convicted in Malaysia for marijuana possession, while two received the death sentence in Singapore and four in Saudi Arabia for involvement in murder cases. The ministry said the government has extended legal assistance to the 15 Indonesians in Malaysia even though they were undocumented workers.
Indonesian legislator Suripto criticized the Indonesian missions in these countries for being too slow in helping migrant workers who are facing the death sentence. He urged the embassies to find noted lawyers to assist Indonesians with legal problems.
Meanwhile, Migrant Care executive director, Anis Hidayah, disclosed that four other Indonesian migrant workers are on death row in Malaysia on two separate murder charges. They are Aida bin Sukardi, 23, Erik bin Kartim, Wahyudi bin Boinen and Haliman bin Sihombing. The Higher Court is set to try Aida’s appeal against his death sentence in August, while the Supreme Court is scheduled to try the appeal of the three others in March. Hidayah urged Jakarta to lobby for the abolition of capital punishment in Malaysia.

The agreement allows Indonesian seafarers to work on Dutch vessels for a gross monthly salary ranging from $1,520 to $4,586. It also allows them to transfer to other European-flagged vessels with similar remuneration systems. NEMEA said the agreement would not only ensure the labor security of Indonesian seafarers working for European shipping companies but would also boost the growing Dutch shipping industry.
