I wonder and would like to know more about the cost breakdown in the MOU process. All these costs should be listed and shared clearly with job seekers or workers. As I saw, workers paid differently to RAs or their employers. Workers don't even know if the amounts they pay for the recruitment process are legal or not.

"Due to the rising operating costs, the boat owners have ceased fishing operations. This has left us in a difficult situation as we relied on the income from working on the fishing boat for our meals. Now, we are facing financial troubles, which is why I had to seek odd jobs to cover our household expenses"

"Organizations should support and empower migrant workers, enabling them to speak up without fear. It's not enough to solely focus on completing tasks and projects. In the long term, it's crucial to ensure that workers are aware of their rights and equipped to address issues independently. Prioritizing their abilities and empowerment should be our primary concern, while other matters can be addressed subsequently."
