Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan won a literary contest for foreign workers last month which was sponsored by the Taipei city government (The Jakarta Post, Oct. 2).

The words from one winning piece were; “”Please forgive me, time has buried my longing for your love, and I hope you find true love somewhere else”". This is a sample sentence from a first-prize-winning essay titled Kinanthi, which was written by Sri Jumitai, an Indonesian migrant worker in Taiwan. Anik Krisnawati, another Indonesian migrant worker, won first prize in the poetry category for her poem titled Happiness Terminal.
