delegation from the Manpower Ministry and the Association of Labor Export Companies (Apjati) will make a visit to the family of Karni binti Medi Tarsim, an Indonesian migrant worker who was executed last Thursday in Saudi Arabia for murdering her employer.
The director general for overseas labor placement and protection affairs at the ministry, Reyna Usman, said she would lead a delegation representing the government and labor supplying companies to visit Karni's family in Brebes, Central Java, on Saturday.
'The government will provide a donation to express its solidarity to Karni and simultaneously call on locals not to send unqualified workers to work overseas,' she told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Wednesday.
