HONG KONG (Antara): Vice President M Jusuf Kalla during a visit here on Monday discovered that many female Indonesian workers in this Chinese commercial capital are not receiving proper treatment.
After receiving the reports, Kalla asked the Foreign Ministry to investigate the cases thoroughly.
Kalla personally met some of the Indonesian workers who told him about their fate.
Lilia and Dewi Khusnul Khotimah from East Java said they had each been promised a monthly salary of HK$3,400 but in reality they only received HK$400. "Our salary is deducted by HK$3,000 every month for all sorts of reasons," Lilin told Kalla.
Lili also said she never got a day-off and had to work on Saturdays and Sundays.
Some 109,000 Indonesian women are currently working in Hong Kong, mostly in the informal sector.
