It is rather a bilateral problem that must be settled through sinergized policy of both countries. The system of institutional structure of the state policy and the role of business people involved in manpower in both countries need to be reorganized for the purpose of policy revitalization to ensure the good sending, replacement and protection of TKI in Malaysia.

"ABSTRAKNegara mempunyai tanggung jawab melindungi dan mensejahterakan rakyat melalui sistem pemerintahan yang berfungsi dengan baik namun sayangnya kondisi Indonesia tidak seperti itu. Kurangnya lapangan pekerjaan di negara sendiri serta meningkatnya permintaan negara luar akan tenaga kerja Indonesia, mendorong masyarakat untuk melakukan migrasi. Dengan hasil remitansi yang besar, pemerintah Indonesia juga mendorong hal tersebut. Tindak migrasi tersebut pada awalnya menguntungkan semua pihak kecuali TKI itu sendiri. Ketika terjadi permasalahan, negara kewalahan dalam menangani kasus-kasus tersebut karena kurangnya langkah preventif. Kondisi Indonesia sebagai Weak State mempersulit pengurusan TKI di luar negeri. Kondisi tersebut diakibatkan oleh krisis ekonomi 1998 dan semenjak saat itu Indonesia mengupayakan untuk memperbaiki keadaaan tersebut tanpa hasil yang signifikan. Kondisi internal yang tidak stabil mempersulit peningkatan kapasitas pemerintahan; yang sebenarnya mempunyai tugas dalam menjamin perlindungan warga negara di luar maupun di dalam negeri. Pada akhirnya ketidakmampuan ini merefleksikan kelemahan yang melemahkan bargaining position Indonesia di dalam dunia internasional.

ABSTRACT

The state bears the responsibility to protect and to provide welfare to the people through a system of government that is functioning properly, but unfortunately the condition of Indonesia is far from its ideal state. The high unemployment rate as well as the increasing demand of Indonesian Migrant workers from country such as Saudi Arabia encouraging them to perform migration. The increasing numbers of remittance income compels the Indonesian government to keep sending migrant workers. The migration was initially beneficial to all parties except the TKI itself. When a problem occurs, the state?s difficulty in handling such cases because of the lack of preventive measures. Indonesian conditions as Weak State complicates the management of migrant workers abroad. The condition was caused by the economic crisis in 1998 and since then Indonesia seek to improve such circumstances without any significant results. Unstable internal conditions complicate governance capacity building; which actually is responsible to ensure the protection of citizens in and outside the country. Ultimately, this inability, reflects the weakness that weakens the bargaining position of Indonesia in the international world."

"Social networks provide social capital to the prospective migrants. They could also reduce migration's financial and social costs and risks by providing the new migrant with valuable information, job contacts, and other resources. This paper investigates the role of migrants networks, particularly those based on family, friendship, and community ties. Specifically, it explores how social networks emerge, develop, facilitate, and sustain the flow of migrants from Indonesia and the Philippines to Sabah. It presents the dynamic and variable portrayal of social networks by demonstrating how they gradually assume different forms and functions for women and for men that differently affect settlement outcomes, economic opportunities, and chances to become legal immigrants in Sabah. This study incorporates social networks and gender perspective. Data collection is based on the qualitative method. The findings suggest that social networks can both strengthen and broaden over time depending on the length of stay in Sabah, working experiences and the knowledge that has been accumulated. "

"Para pekerja migran Indonesia asal Lembata sudah lama dikenal luas sebagai bagian dari migran tradisional sejak tahun 1950an yang bermigrasi ke Sabah, Malaysia. Mereka bermigrasi ke Sabah dengan didasarkan pada nilai-nilai jaringan sosial yang berakar dari para migran pioneer mereka yang sudah terlebih dahulu tinggal di Sabah. Sekalipun Pemerintah Indonesia sudah menciptakan banyak peraturan perundang-undangan seperti Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 2004 tentang Penempatan dan Perlindungan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia di Luar Negeri, akan tetapi para pekerja migran asal Lembata tetap cendrung mempergunakan jalur non prosedural ketimbang jalur prosedural sebagaimana dikampanyekan dan dijamin oleh pemerintah. Berdasarkan pendekatan kualitatif, hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa jaringan sosial pekerja migran asal Lembata sudah terstruktur dengan kokoh karena didukung oleh nilai-nilai lokal mereka sendiri baik dari segi kultur sosial, struktur sosial maupun proses.
