Following a visit of the Chinese Muslim Association (CMA) to the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) headquarters a couple of months ago, the Nahdlatul Ulama Special Branch Board (PCINU) of Taiwan and the CMA recently visited the office of the Indonesian Economic chamber (KDEI) of Taipei Taiwan.
The visit was part of effort to strengthen communication and deepen partnership over a purposeful plan to soon establish a shelter for Indonesian troubled workers in Taiwan.<>
The meeting was held at the KDEI office and attended by Suhartono (KDEI chief), Fauzi Muchtar (KDEI administration chief), Ade Gagah Aziz (KDEI immigration division chief), Dawood Ju (chairman of CMA), Ishaq Ma (secretary-general of CMA), Nur Muhammad (CMA commitioning), Setio Gunawan (chairman of advisory board of Taiwan's PCINU), Edi Sunaedi (chairman of executive board of Taiwan's PCINU).
Present also at the occasion were scores of PCINU board members such as Hilmiah Assayyidi, Bambang ADS, Rizky Ramadhani, Yunus Abdullah and M. Udin Harun Al Rasyid.
In the meeting, PCINU express its plan to immediately establish a shelter for Indonesian troubled workers in Xindian City and various planned programs.
"One of the purposes of establishing the Taiwan's PCINU
is to address any problem facing Indonesian workers. The Taiwan's PCINU is expected to be capable of bridging communications between Indonesian workers and the government," Edi Sunaedi said.
Recently, PCINU has made a reasearch about the profile of Indonesian workers in Taiwan covering statistic data, the role of government agencies and NGOs related to the existence of Indonesian workers in Taiwan.
"The recommendation we have sent to both PBNU and CMA is the establishment of a shelter immediately," Setiyo Gunawan said who will soon earn his Ph.D from Taiwan Tech, Taipei.
While Hilmiah Assayyidi of the CMA expressed his gratitude to KDEI for supporting the plan initiated by CMA and PCINU to establish the much-awaited shelter.
"Actually, CMA itself has ever had a shelter. Unfortunately it has no longer been active," Dawood Ju said, adding that his organization in collaboration with the Taiwan's PCINU would "re-activate the shelter so that it can expectedly help handle any problem faced by Indonesian workers in Taiwan."
Meanwhile, Suharono greatly appreciated the plan and expected it to be realized as immediately as possible, adding that it could be a means of education for Indonesian workers.
"For example, giving such guidance or education (to Indonesian workers) on how to communicate with their employers or giving skills to the Indonesian workers following their return to Indonesia," he said. (nam)
