In an exclusive interview, Indonesia’s consul for protocol and consular affairs in Hong Kong attempted to clear up recent confusion about whether employers in the city need to pay extra to hire an Indonesian helper. Clemens Triaji Bektikusuma spoke with Post reporter Fiona Chow on August 24, 2023, that no change in fee costs would be needed if recruitment papers are processed through accredited agencies in the city. Earlier in the month, Indonesian Manpower Placement Agency Association (Aspataki) announced that Jarkata would halt placements until employers started paying several thousand more dollars in placement costs. The diplomat expressed “deep regret” that the association, which was not authorised to speak about the issue, had irritated Hong Kong residents and impacted helpers from Indonesia.
