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!
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article201812.ece Sumiati case is not the norm: Government By MOHAMMAD AL-SULAMI | ARAB NEWS Published: Nov 28, 2010 00:41 Updated: Nov 28, 2010 00:42 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.
