Abstract

This article discusses the weakness of political participation of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. The increasing number of political participation in the election 2014 compared to 2009 is just because of the figure factor. The implementation of political participation requires a proper political education for the migrant workers. This research uses the qualitative and in-depth interview as the method of data collection. It applies participation theory, state theory, protection theory, also the concept of political education. The researcher finds that Indonesia’s government does not socialize the political education as an essential alternative to increase political participation of Indonesian migrant workers in the election. The government also manages the status document of Indonesian migrant worker in Malaysia, tries to repair the system and referendum mechanism by coming directly to society. The immigrant workers and election organizers need political education in order to make a better election process.
