Meily Christine, a resident of Bengkulu City, was finally successfully returned to Indonesia.
He was picked up directly by the Bengkulu City Social Service and Employment Service, when he arrived at Fatmawati Soekarno Bengkulu Airport, yesterday (8/2).
Meily Christine herself became a victim of a network of illegal Indonesian Migrant Worker (TKI) agents. He was promised that he would be employed in Malaysia. However, it wasn't a job that he got, but persecution.
Meily Christine tells of her bitter experience in Malaysia. There, he was held captive in a room in Malaysia. However, he did not know for sure where he was being held.
"I was held in a room that I didn't know was there (Malaysia, ed.)," said Meily.
After being held captive for a long time, with quite a long struggle, he finally managed to escape.
“When I made it out. "I contacted Indonesia and was successfully sent home," he said.
