"The victim was trapped in a queue of thousands of Indonesians wanting to get legal documents for their stay in Saudi Arabia. The queuing turned into chaotic situation that kill one Indonesian," said the spokesman.
Michael explained the Indonesian Consulate office since May 13 until July 3 is offering service for Indonesians living in Saudi Arabia to register themselves and complete the required documents to stay in Saudi Arabia. The policy is made after Saudi Arabian government announced it will give the chance for illegal foreign workers to work in the country as long as they can complete the documents required to stay.
"During the past weeks there were thousands of Indonesian workers who come to the consulate office to get the document. The process runs smoothly. We regret to see the chaotic situation happening last Sunday. Right now the consulate general has added more officers to fasten the process for those workers to get their documents," said the spokesman.
