President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued special directives for ministers dealing with legal, human rights and security affairs to speed up their work, including the construction of new prisons, migrant workers and border issues between Indonesia and Malaysia.

The President ordered the ministers to prioritize building 34 new penitentiaries and improve the facilities of another 43 jails across the country this year.

“The President has signed a decree on a special task force on migrant workers,” Coordinating Political, Legal and Security affair Djoko Suyanto told reporters.

The task force is headed by the former religious minister Maftuh Basyuni, and his deputies are Alwi Shihab, Hendarman Supandji and Bambang Hendarso Danuri.

“The task force has also set up a team to keep tabs on our migrant workers on death row in China, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur,” he said.
