Having the welfare of migrant workers at heart

Hermono, Ambassador of Indonesia to Malaysia, says he has a special mission in Malaysia – to improve the livelihood of the Indonesian migrant workers who have come here in search of greener pastures.
AFTER falling to its first recession last year since the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Indonesia’s economic growth is expected to rebound this year.
According to the latest economic outlook from Oxford Economics commissioned by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to rebound to a 6% growth in 2021, driven by increases in consumer and infrastructure spending.
Indonesia’s newly-posted ambassador to Malaysia, Hermono (pic), says he remains optimistic about South-East Asia’s largest economy pulling itself out of the economic rut, despite the looming risks.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama): Indonesia has called on its Asean (Association of South-East Asian Nations) partners to maximise the benefit of digitalisation to foster faster economic recovery and in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic.
Indonesian Communication and Informatics Minister Johnny G. Plate said efforts should also be made to help the most vulnerable in order to ensure that no one will be left behind.
"The Covid-19 pandemic has sparked a momentum to accelerate the digitalisation in many parts of the world, including Indonesia and Asean.
"As the President Joko Widodo has mandated, Indonesia has taken steps to maximise its digital potential through digital transformation initiatives in strategic sectors, namely infrastructure development, technology adoption, digital talent improvement, and the creation of fundamental regulation,” he said in his intervention at the plenary session of the inaugural ASEAN Digital Ministers’ Meeting (ADGMIN1) recently.

He said that this was because if the war between the two superpowers continued, Asean countries would find themselves being caught in between.
“Many among the Asean nations have sympathy towards China and its technology. Many have also started using them, including Malaysia... I mean not the government, but private and telecommunication companies.
“There was a fear of retaliation by the United States, but now we all hope there is more calm and stability,” he said in an interview on the Ruang Bicara programme, titled ‘The First Asean Digital Ministers Meeting (ADGMIN1): Empowerment of the Asean Digital Ecosystem’, on Bernama TV today.
