Jakarta – Sony Electronics Indonesia Ltd has ended its Indonesian operations and is offering severance pay to its 884 workers.

The secretary of the Sony company's trade union, Budi M M, disclosed in Cibitung in Bekasi district near here that Sony had officially stopped all its activities as of May 25, after the conclusion of a series of meetings on severance pay for its workers.

The workers have reportedly been made to understand that the closing down of the company's plant in Indonesia was due to some global factors that had forced Sony to stop production in some of its plants all over the world, including Indonesia.

Sony Indonesia stopped production as of March 31, but its workers received their last regular pay on May 25. Budi and the workers refused to say how much they are going to receive from the company for severance pay. Sony will relocate its Cibitung operations to Malaysia and Thailand.
