The Ideal Candidates for Indonesian Migrant Workers
My name is Muhammad Syamsudin
from Gresik, East Java
I work as a carpenter
I've been in Malaysia for 2 years already
My name is Rokhim, from East Java, Bojonegoro
I've worked in Malaysia for 6 months
My job is to fix furniture
My name is Zainal Arifin from Trenggalek, I've worked in Malaysia for 2 years
I'm doing plasterwork
Why will you vote?
I will vote as a citizen of Indonesia because the good and bad of our country's fate depends on us
(It depends on) whether we want to vote or not
I will vote because I want to make the 2014 presidential elections a successful one
My ideal presidential candidate?
I want a charismatic, honest, and wise president who is pro-people
I hope the next elected president can create more job opportunities inside our country
My chosen president will be one who is just, I mean he would take full responsibility for the state of the people
Make some real improvements and not only promises
Whoever gets elected needs to give us some real proof
In my opinion, they only go down to the villages during the election campaign but after they get elected they won't do it again
That's all
I want the next president to provide protection for migrantsworkers, and create jobs in Indonesia
And to decrease oil prices, and tackle corruption
My first hope is that he is more responsible in attending to the migrants' condition
Second, to uphold the rule of law in Indonesia and also in Malaysia in regards to the migrant workers
Third, I hope that he defends migrants who get into trouble outside the country
