Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Fahri Hamzah, has drawn criticism on social media following his remarks referring to Indonesian citizens as "begging to be maids in other countries". Several activists and the Minister of Manpower criticized the statement, deeming it demeaning to Indonesian domestic workers abroad. This is especially significant given Fahri's position as head of the DPR RI's oversight team for Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI).

In fact, Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) have contributed hundreds of trillions of rupiah to the national economy. According to the World Bank's 2016 *Migration and Remittances Factbook*, Indonesian workers remitted US$10.5 billion, or Rp 140 trillion, in 2015. India, meanwhile, received the largest amount of remittances (contributions from its citizens working abroad) at US$72.2 billion, or approximately Rp 962 trillion.
