摘要
Indonesian immigrants, as the highest number of immigrant population in Malaysia, have developed a specific networking and activities among themselves where social capital can be found. The network benefits not only the individual but also the groups of community with various social strata. The presence of cultural uniqueness has intertwined with their strong spirit of nationalism and caring for fellow migrants. In this situation, there is abundant social capital of Indonesian immigrants that can be explored to benefit groups and individuals in supporting their coping strategies. Furthermore, the availability of social capital may enhance development effort in the host country. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
