Indonesian migrant workers' success stories are the exception rather than the norm. Stories of eight successful migrant workers covered in this edition are truly heartening. Ironically, however, their success is not the fruit of well-targeted government policies. Migrant workers from Indonesia -- currently estimated at 6.5 million in number -- have made an extraordinary contribution to the economy. The government can start overhauling the system by first finalizing the revision of the migrant worker placement and protection Law No.39/2004 which has been shelved many times. Activists supporting migrant workers have been pushing policy makers to improve the regulations, so they are in line with the international convention on the protection of migrant workers' rights. The government and parliament (DPR) need to ascertain that the revised law offers comprehensive protection to these saviors of our economy, as they deserve to be. The manpower ministry and BNP2TKI must also work together for the sake of the workers' interests.
