Often when I travel back and forth between Dubai and Jakarta, most seats were occupied with Indonesian migrant workers, some of them were new, some were returning workers.
They would share stories about their place of work, their bosses, and also their punishments ( The slaps - by hands or slippers - were 'daily snacks' ) which were unimaginable (ironed, locked days with no food or water, and many things).. yet.. so many workers returned as dead bodies still didnot make the government to do something.
