The Indonesian government is facilitating the return of Shinta Danuar, a 26-year-old Indonesian migrant worker (TKI) in Taiwan with permanent paralysis, to Indonesia.

“In coordination with the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office to Taipei (KDEI Taipei) and an airline, Shinta will return to her home country on Nov. 29. Hopefully, there will be no problems,” the Manpower Ministry’s labor supervision and health and work safety director General Maruli A. Hasoloan said on Tuesday.

The cost of her return is completely covered by the Manpower Ministry and the Agency for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BNP2TKI). “The government is concerned with Shinta’s condition and wants to help her to come home as per her family’s request,” Maruli said.

Suryati, Shinta’s mother, had asked for the return of her daughter, which was not medically recommended. Suryati also signed the request form and a statement saying she would accept all the risks.    [FULL  STORY]
