Refleksi: Sesuai statistik Arab Saudia seperti tercantun pada artikel dibawah ini dikatakan bahwa 30% dari PRT yang lari [Silahkan lihat juga repartage Aljazeera : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3o3FuPy1sU ] berasal dari Indonesia. Mereka lari dari tempat kerja karena kondisi kerja sangat buruk. Kondisi ini bukan baru berlangsung kemarin, tetapi sudah kurang lebih 30 tahun. Jawaban terhadap pertanyaan mengapa hal demikian dibiarkan terus berlangsung, agaknya tidak ada jawaban lain daripada pemerintah yang berkuasa di Indonesia tidak berbeda dengan "slave driver", jadi tidak beradab baik. Bila demikian halnya, apakah diperlukan eksistensi pemerintah dan negara yang tidak bisa memberi perlindungan kepada warganegaranya dari perlakuan tidak adil?
Hal yang perlu dicatat ialah sama agama bukan jaminan keadilan dan perlakuan yang wajar! http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1§ion=0&article=99127&d=31&m=7&y=2007&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom Tuesday, 31, July, 2007 (16, Rajab, 1428) Upsurge in Demand for Runaway Maids Arab News MAKKAH, 31 July 2007 - With many countries, including the Philippines and Indonesia, refusing to send maids to the Kingdom unless their salaries are increased, the Kingdom is seeing an upsurge in the black-market demand for runaway maids, Al-Madinah newspaper reported. The Philippines has refused to send maids to the Kingdom unless they receive SR1,500 per month. The Indonesian government has followed suit and is demanding SR800 for their maids. About 50,000 Indonesian maids currently wait permission to leave Indonesia for the Kingdom. Officials at various recruiting offices told Al-Madinah newspaper that Sir Lankan agencies have also demanded increases in the salaries of Sri Lankan maids to SR600. According to Al-Madinah, Sri Lankan maids are afraid of coming to the Kingdom following the recent case of Rizana Nafeek, the teenage maid who was found guilty by a Saudi court of causing the death of a four-month-old Saudi boy. Nafeek is currently appealing against her death sentence. "The authorities need to find a solution to the problem. This will only cause an increase in the demand for runaway maids because people are left with no other choice," said Muhammad Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi citizen looking for a maid. According to Saudi government statistics, over 30 percent of runaway maids are Indonesians. Citizens also urged the government to look into bringing maids from other countries to solve the shortage of maids.
