Elections 2014: Hopes of Indonesians in Malaysia

Indonesia's legislative election will be held on April 2014.

This is Al Mundir, reporting from Malaysia

to inform you about the situation in Malaysia prior to the election in Indonesia.

We will hear Indonesian migrant workers talk about their hopes, representing millions of other Indonesians in Malaysia.

Well, I hope the leaders will be responsible...

honest, dedicated, and that they can build a better Indonesia.

I hope the next leader can help most of the migrant workers overseas

Golkar party...

Not corrupt, and responsible.

I really want to vote.

If only the Indonesian consulate can provide some security, safety, I'm ready to cast my vote.

Our problem is that we are migrants without documents.

Because got cheated (by employment agents).

A criteria for the next leader is that they can give perspective

to the public.

Second, that the leader that put the lower classes at the forefront

Third, that the leader can lead all of the people and avoid becoming partial, treating certain people differently.

Everything should be equal.

We only know Golkar, PDI, and PKB... I would give my vote to one of those.

Honest, equal, and care about migrant workers overseas.

I can't vote around here, how we can do that?

The reason is that we migrants are so busy, and we are following our bosses around.

We can't just freely travel here and there.

We work from 7am until 7pm.

If there's a team that approaches us, we can vote. We can vote for a better leader.

Peaceful, honest, and wise. That kind of leader.

I hope we get a leader that is more firm, and honest. Against corruption, firm, that can handle Indonesians

here in Malaysia. So people can live happily. We have a hard life here. If we get a firm leader, we will be happy.

i heard a lot of news about corruption. From PAN, PDI, Golkar, PPP, Demokrat party.

How about you, which one do you choose?

I choose honesty, firmness, any party that has honesty, firmness... a party of communication.

There's PKB, PDI too, Gerindra, Nasdem, those are the ones I know.

Firstly, equal, honest, and care about their people.

Create jobs, that's what I'm hoping.

About parties, I know, there's PKB, PAN, Gerindra, Demokrat, what else... ya, that's it.

Our problem is that we're too far from the Indonesian Consulate. And also we don't have (proper) permits.

So it's quite a challenge to travel. If possible, the Indonesian consulate should provide us a means, and they have a team going to the companies.

So people can give their votes, to ease the problem.

I want a wise, firm and brave leader who is not corrupt.

Because now I hear that in Indonesia there is so much corruption, that's not responsible.

Lots of news about corruption...

Leaders that are unjust, yeah that's it.

We feel embarrassed to hear such news.

I won't give my vote. I don't know who to choose, what their goals, vision, and mission are.

i don't know any party, so how can I choose? You could say I'll be Golput (absent).

We just heard the hopes and anxieties from Indonesians who probably

can't vote in this 2014 election.

Will there be any solution from Indonesian government?

I'll keep you posted with more updates from the 2014 Indonesia election in Malaysia.
