An estimated of 100,000 Sabahans are staying in Klang Valley. However, these young people who came to seek for work opportunities are living in deplorable states.

According to Hiew King Cheu (DAP-Kota Kinabalu), some Sabahans staying here are illiterate and living as beggars digging for food behind KFC and Mcdonald's, and some young women are unfortunately involved in prostitution.
