Kendari, SE Sulawesi, Jan 12 (Antara) - The Industry Ministry has ensured that the supervision of foreign workers in industrial areas or zones is stringent to prevent any immigration violation.
Unlike in tourist destinations, which are friendly to foreign visitors, industrial areas have implemented a very tight supervision policy for foreign workers, I Gusti Putu Suryawirawan, director general of the Industry Ministry, stated here, recently.
"If in Bogor, the supervision of foreigners is not strict, as they use tourist visas. In industrial zones, the supervision is very stringent since there are multiple controls in place," he remarked.
Those involved in the supervision process include officials of the Investment Coordinating Board, Manpower Ministry, and immigration offices," he noted.
"Thus, multi-layered supervision is being conducted in industrial zones. It will be difficult for foreign workers to enter if they do not meet the conditions," he pointed out.
Suryawirawan was surprised on hearing reports of alleged presence of several migrant workers in Southeast and Central Sulawesi.
Foreign workers are hired in Indonesia solely to conduct tasks that their local counterparts are unable to perform, he added.
