They  wanted  to  live  righteously  as  other  citizens. 
This community  does not  want to  be looked  down 
upon by neighbouring citizens. Such thing illustrates 
how  they  have  a  proper  dignity,  which  shows 
potential in the form of self-esteem. 
The  other  hand,  the  under  par  infrastructure, 
poverty,  poor  education,  weak  mind-set  and 
awareness  of  parents  to  improve  their  children's 
education, stand at the brink of Indonesian gate. On 
the  other  hand,  magnificent  school  buildings  with 
excellent provided facilities and infrastructure of the 
neighbouring  country  create  huge  gaps.  Computer 
labs,  internet,  language  lab,  students’  training  hall 
stand tall and well in Malaysia. For this reason, and 
all the  unfavourable  conditions,  border  community 
could be the target of human trafficking syndicates 
touting around. Due to the difficult economic life on 
ones’ shoulder and a lot of promising works in front 
of their eye, parents might be encouraged to employ 
their children abroad to help the family economy.
