Refleksi : Terlalu sering terjadi perkosaan dan penyiksaan, jadi  sudah bukan 
lagi kekecualian melainkan bisa dikatakan menjadi norma kebiasaan! TKW dari 
Indonesia sudah hampir 40 tahun di Arab Saudia, jadi bukan baru sekarang 
terjadi dengan Sumiati untuk dikatakan kececualian!

Sumiati case is not the norm: Government

JEDDAH: The Ministry of Labor has extended its support to an Indonesian maid 
who was physically abused by her employer in Madinah and is recovering from 
severe burns at the city's King Fahd Hospital.

The ministry's spokesman, Hattab bin Salih Al-Onaizi, said Saturday that the 
Ministry of Labor is sorry for what happened to the maid, Sumiati Salan 
Mustapa, and that its officials are following up on her case.

He said the ministry is not cut off from the public and keeps track of such 
cases. He added that what happened to the maid is not the norm and that 
generalizations should not be made about the Kingdom on this basis.

"What happened is a single act and should not be generalized . the Kingdom has 
over 670,000 maids of different nationalities who receive their complete 
rights. However, some violations do occur and they have a negative effect on 
the entire public," he said.

Al-Onaizi also said expatriates working in the Kingdom are protected under the 
existing labor law and ministerial decision No. 1/738, which prevents human 
trafficking and the inhumane and unethical treatment of workers.

He added that the Kingdom's law prevents sponsors who violate the law from 
employing workers for five years and that persistent violators are banned 
indefinitely. "The ministry does not save any effort to protect the dignity of 
workers and whoever commits a violation will be penalized," Al-Onaizi said.
