Abstract

We initiate a community service engagement to mitigate the negative impact on public health resulting from digital lifestyles in the information era for the Indonesian migrant community in Penang, Malaysia. The primary goal is to establish sustainable behaviours and to encourage community involvement, especially among Indonesian migrants abroad. Through the use of a participatory strategy, the involvement included sharing sessions and awareness campaigns. This needed to be done in order to make the community responsible for their action and aim for a better life. The results showed that the Indonesian Migrant Community in Penang, Malaysia awareness had significantly increased awareness, which had resulted in the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviour.
