Far From Home 4: Migrants Go To College

We always speak of the immigrants in Malaysia as 'the other'. In actual fact, the 6 million of them who have made Malaysia their home for years are just like us; they have dreams, stories and fears. Over the next 8 weeks, we'll be bringing their stories on air, disengaging you from the common migrant narrative and instead, giving them something they often get deprived of: a voice. In today's episode, we speak to the handful of Indonesian migrant workers who, with making 6 times more here than what they'd make at home, are here in Malaysia because it's the only way to afford tertiary education.
