Abstract

The lack of employments in the home country has been the main reason why some Indonesian people choose to work abroad as an Indonesian migrant worker or Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI). Unfortunately, most of them are not skilled, in other words, they do not possess adequate skills needed for work. However, they play a significant role in supporting their family economy and in contributing to foreign exchange earnings, although it is not comparable to what the country gives to them. Within the framework of improvement to the issue, Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers has been implemented, which adopted Law No. 39 of 2004 on the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers Abroad. In the new Law, there are five main changes in the pattern of protection, which include decentralization of protection of the Indonesian migrant workers, significant roles of Labor Attache, PJTKI with only two functions (agent transfer and marketing), the Indonesian migrant workers’ insurance by government, and sanctions for violators of the law. Therefore, the spirit of the Law 18/2017 is to protect Indonesian migrant workers and their family in avoidance of humanitarian crimes they have been vulnerable to face from the departure process to the destination country.

Abstract

Based on results of research, the background of cultural legacy conflict (2007-2009) between Indonesia and Malaysia contained two aspects: economy and socio-political ones. Firstly, with respect to economy, Malaysia started to develop its economy through tourism industry based on cultural legacy. In this case, the diversity of Malaysia culture economically disregarded before, was expanded for tourism industry by performing cultural shows, festivals and exhibitions. As Indonesia society know these developments, it became heated, due to almost all of cultural legacies in archipelago societies inherited by Indonesia ancestors, were claimed by Malaysia. Indonesia local and central governments, therefore, countered it by advancing the patent rights of their cultural legacy without delay. Secondly, in terms of socio-politics, in addition to tourism promotion, tourism advertisements are aimed to get sympathy of Malay ethnic following national election in 2008 and retain dominance of United Malays National Organization (UMNO) in Malaysian government. As Malaysian government under Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi (2004-2008) faced dissatisfaction of Malaysia society to UMNO that gave opportunity to Anwar Ibrahim as opposition figure to engage the succeeding election, UMNO found out the political campaign based on tourism industry to maintain its power and blocked Anwar involvement in the election. At the same time, political vested interests exploited the bilateral dispute to shake the elected Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as Indonesia President for 2009-2014. Political arena in Indonesia, then, became heated as mass media all together published the Indonesia cultural legacy claimed by Malaysia. It caused Indonesia society angrier due to it watched on Malaysia plundering its cultural identity, so that bilateral relationship.
