Abstract
The problem of unemployment can cause various impacts, both on socio-political climate and also on security. One of the social impacts is unemployment followed by poverty. The solution is providing an opportunity to work abroad. The popular option for working abroad for Indonesian people is in Malaysia. Organizers of the Placement of Indonesian Workers Abroad can legally carry this immigration through the Independent Indonesian Workers association. The placement of Indonesian Migrant Workers can be achieved for individuals through both the rule of Government to Government (G to G) and Government to Independent (G to I). Besides working legally, some Indonesians work illegally in Malaysia and as illegal migrant workers are not protected by the state which makes life uneasy in the destination country. This paper proposes the regulation of protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers by looking at some cases that have occurred for Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
