Kapolri orders Kabareskrim, Kapolda to crack down on job brokers

Kapolri Suyudi Ario Seto ordered Kabareskrim and all Kapolda to take firm action against job brokers who collect money from applicants. The instruction was delivered at the launch of the Polisi Peduli Pengangguran, or Poliran, program in Bandung on Wednesday. Suyudi also urged the public not to be afraid to report any brokerage practices around companies or within companies. He said Poliran was created to help connect job seekers with available openings, in line with efforts to expand employment opportunities. He said the absorption of labor is directly linked to security and public order. For that reason, Polri units were asked not to stop at the launch event, but to follow job seeker data until they are actually absorbed into the workforce.
