The Manpower Ministry will restrict the number of foreign workers in Indonesia so as to provide domestic workers with more opportunities, Manpower Minister Hanif Dhakiri has said.
"I am preparing regulations to control [the number of] foreign workers, among others, by tightening the placement of foreign workers in several companies in the country," Hanif said in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, on Saturday.
One of the ways to limit foreign worker numbers will be the introduction of an Indonesian language test, which has already been announced.
In addition, through various regulations, the presence of foreign workers in the country can be controlled to ensure that they are in Indonesia legally, he stated as reported by Antara news agency. (+++++)
