This study therefore seekd to reveal the micro data of the current status of foreign migrant workers in Malaysia by examining their working environment and living condition in a selected geographical area in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In general, the results indicate that most of the foreign migrant workers feel comfortable working at their workplace and they perceived the living condition is conducive. Among the suggestions to improve further the working environment and living conditions of the foreign migrant workers are by establishing the memorandum of understanding between countries and by adopting a comprehensive legislative approach. |
