Illuminating the Household: Domestic Workers Bill Finally Progresses (with Eva Sundari)

Send us a text

After nearly 20 years, a bill to help protect maids and household servants from exploitation finally appears poised to pass into law.  A longstanding proponent, former parliamentarian Eva Sundari, joins the pod to explain the bill's features, which she describes as moderate and modest.  A central feature will be a registration system to help track workers' whereabouts and guard against involuntary servitude.

In addition, Jeff and Kevin review the ongoing whirlwind of party politicking, including options for parties of the United Alliance (KIB).  Also: an update on Jakarta's long-awaited Light Rail Train (LRT) due to commence operations in July.
