Sanction on Jasindo’s Indonesian Migrant Workers Insurance
activity withdrawn
Source : Bisnis Indonesia 16th July 2007
Following the corrective measures taken by Asuransi Jasindo Consortium that
provides insurance for Indonesian migrant workers, the sanction on the
Consortium’s workers insurance activity was finally withdrawn, thus the
insurance activities have now resumed. The withdrawal of the sanction complies
with the Letter of Head of BNP2TKI (the National Agency for the Placement and
Protection of Overseas Labor) No. B.46/BNP2TKI/VII/2007 dated 12 July 2007
regarding the Consortium’s participation in providing insurance for Indonesian
migrant workers.
The Head of BNP2TKI Jumhur Hidayat stated in a copy letter received by Bisnis
yesterday, that due to the fact that Asuransi Jasindo Consortium did take
corrective measures, as of 13 July 2007 the Consortium has been permitted to
resume services for Indonesian workers. Jasindo’s President Director Edi Subekti
explained that his party has taken six corrective measures including the opening
of representative offices in the workers destination countries, namely Malaysia,
Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman,
Qatar, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia. “The Consortium fully supports the
Depnakertrans policy to set up an Indonesian Incorporation to provide
representative offices in the workers destination countries in order to assist
workers who have trouble in a foreign country.” Furthermore, the Consortium has
opened a service counter in terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta airport, in which there is
a special room for assisting migrant workers with the provision of online
computerization connected with BNP2TKI and Depnakertrans for data checking, and
emergency vehicles to transport troubled workers. In addition to providing
online data system between the Consortium and Depnakertrans which can be
accessed at any time, the Consortium also holds a cooperation with Kramat Jati
Police Hospital for free-of-charge medication and treatment for migrant workers.
Edi added that 85 Asuransi Jasindo branch offices have been positioned one in
each BNP2TKI office spread all over Indonesia. The sanction on Asuransi Jasindo
Consortium’s operational activity providing the placement of and insurance
protection for Indonesian migrant workers was enforced as of 2 July as the
Consortium was considered to have failed to meet with the evaluation criteria
imposed by the government. The decision on the said sanction was contained in
the Letter No. B.395/BNP2TKI/VI dated 29 June 2007 signed by the Head of
BNP2TKI. BNP2TKI offices all over Indonesia and PPTKIS/PJTKI (agencies in charge
of giving services to Indonesian migrant workers) were also informed of the
letter and were asked to contact four other Indonesian Workers Insurance
consortiums that are still legalized, namely Bangun Askrida, Ramayana, Proteksi
and Adira Dinamika Consortiums. The last three had just been accepted by the
government as winners of a tender for organizing Indonesian migrant workers
insurance program. The sanction imposed on Asuransi Jasindo Consortium was in
fact a follow up of the Letter No. B.327/BNP2TKI/VI dated 7 June 2007 on the
implementation of Indonesian migrant workers protection in foreign countries. In
BNP2TKI’s judgment, the consortium failed to carry out its tasks and functions
optimally, and to set up an online data system of Indonesian migrant workers
insurance and also failed to have representative offices in foreign countries.
