Two Indonesian migrant workers reportedly missing in Saudi
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 12/17/2010
Two Indonesian female migrant workers are allegedly missing in Saudi Arabia, with one of them having disappeared 11 years ago.
The workers are Ade Suryani and Jamilah, residents of Padabenghar village, Sukabumi, West Java. Both have been reported missing since 1999 and 2002 respectively.
“We have tried to coordinate with the relevant institutions, but apparently both names were not recorded,” village head Mamat said as quoted by metrotvnews.com.
Mamat claimed that he had also reported the two to the secretariat of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union and Migrant Care to assist the search.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Sukabumi Migrant Workers Union, Jejen Nurjanah, said she would report the disappearance of the two workers to the National Board for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Overseas Workers, and the Sukabumi Manpower and Transmigration Subagency.
"But unfortunately, from the results of our preliminary research at the subagency, there is no data on the two missing maids," she said.
"We're trying to coordinate with local governments so that cases like this do not happen again," added Jejen.
