Hong Kong (Antara Bali) - A number of Indonesian migrant workers or TKI in Hong Kong and Macau, who have terminated their working contracts, were allegedly smuggled to China's Inland, due to the rising demand on the manpowers, a spokesperson said.
"Normally they are offered to work as housemaids with better wages," Wydia, one of the female migrant workers told Antara here on Sunday.
The "naughty" agents in Hongkong who smuggled them also kept their immigration documents, thus when they were nabbed by the China's Inland authority, the workers were then repatriated to Hongkong, she said.
According to her, the migrant workers were normally "smuggled" to Shenzhen and Zhuhai, adding that some of them worked as housemaids, but some others were employed as the drug trafficking couriers in the China's inland.
"Apart from receiving high wages, the migrant workers were also offered traveling to Malaysia, and were then trained to become the drug trafficking couriers for the China's inland operational area," Wydia disclosed.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian Consul General in Hongkong, Bambang Susanto when asked about the "smuggled" Indonesian migrant workers said that he hasn't yet received detail information regarding the "smuggled" workers.(*/DWA)
