If you expect to read critic or comments on Iron
Man 3 the 2013 American superhero
film featuring the Marvel Comics
character Iron Man,
you’d better skip my blog. Aside from the Iron Man movie, Yuki Irawan is probably one of the most sought
after celebrity lately. Right before the
launching of Iron man 3 and the labour day, the confinement factory worker in Lebak Wangi was unfolded. Yuki Irawan was accused of conducting slavery.
About 25 people were
forced to work from 06.00 to 24.00. During the long working hours, only lunch
and dinner were provided. At nite, they were transported in a locked van to a 8
x 6 square meters room to rest on a piece of traditional matras. The only available toilet is the dirty and smelly space. Television set or air
controller such as fan are the luxury
that the factory does not recognize. Some of them suffer from severe skin
desease, for the only clothes are the
one that they wear day and night. Terror
and insults are on their daily menu. Tempo,
8 May 2013 has covered a testimony of workers whose hands are full of cuts and
bruises because they worked too slow and the guard punished them by throwing chemical
substance to their hands. Mind you, they are unpaid workers.
Yuki Irawan , the
frying pan man,deserves to be nominated
as the iron man 4 for being public eye
opener to the public and provide access to question the performance of the
government and the related groups and parties. Ministry of ManPower and
Transmigration, the Labour Union, and many other pressure groups associated
with labour are giving comments and throwing critics to the incident. Nice to hear all the statements, but the main
question: where have you all been? You were
the chosen ones who are expectted to do your job instead of focusing on media
coverage.
Yuki and all his senseless
and foolish deeds is a blessing in disquise. Unless this iron man releases his
movie, the public would not get a peek on the performance of all the chosen
men. I personally believe Yuki is not
the only Iron man. There are some if not
many. I might be wrong and only time can tell.
