menurut berita JP di bawah ini, Menaker Fahmi Idris,
di satu pihak akan membuka/liberalisasi pasar
tenaga kerja di RI, tapi di lapin pihak akan menaruh
mekanisme 'filtering' dengan mengharuskan calon
tenaga kerja asing memenuhi kualifikasi tertentu,
termasuk kemampuan berbahasa indonesia.
mungkin nanti kita bisa rame-rame buka biro jasa
pengerahan TKJ (Tenaga Kerja Jerman) yang mo kerja
di Indonesia, dan memberi training mereka soal
*sopan-santun*, *anggah-ungguh*, serta skill
berbahasa indonesia :)

Pass 'Bahasa' test, or no job for foreigners
--------------------------------------------
Rendi A. Witular, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Starting next year, the government will require all foreign
workers to pass an Indonesian language proficiency test in
order to obtain work permits.
The requirement was aimed indirectly at reducing the flow of
foreign workers into the country, Minister of Manpower and
Transmigration Fahmi Idris told The Jakarta Post at the State
Palace recently, with Indonesia intending to liberalize its
labor sector under international agreements.
The government is to start opening its doors to job seekers
from countries grouped within the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) next year, and in 2008 for those from
outside ASEAN as mandated by the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
"Foreign workers must master the Indonesian language before
they can work here, as well as Indonesians to master English
before working abroad. This is to ensure that jobs that could
be carried out by Indonesians don't fall to foreigners," said
Fahmi.
He added that the language proficiency test would be carried
out by the National Certification Agency for Workers, which
would be officially opened this month, in cooperation with
related ministries.
The agency, which will be under the auspices of the manpower
ministry, would serve as a certificate issuer for both domestic
and foreign managerial and professional workers, as well as for
medium and low-skilled workers.
The agency will create standard qualifications for foreign
workers who are wishing to secure a job in Indonesia, as well
as preparing local workers to qualify for working standards
overseas.
However, the policy could mean undesirable consequences and
inevitable fees for the approximately 130,000 foreigners working
in the country, as well as affecting foreign investment that
is badly needed to help drive economic growth.
If the proficiency test is made mandatory, foreign workers will
have no choice but to learn Indonesian.
"The government is not trying to create barriers for foreign
workers or trying to discriminate against them. We just want
to create similar treatment for both local and foreign workers,"
claimed Fahmi.
The plan to require a language proficiency test was first
discussed in mid 2003, with the Ministry of Education planning
to launch a test similar to the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL).
The test would not only be imposed on those wanting to
work here, but also upon those coming to Indonesia to study.
Testing would be conducted at Indonesian embassies.
However, the plan could not be realized following protests
from the business community, as well as a lack of funds to
prepare testing facilities.
