The transformation of migrant workers into migrant entrepreneurs is now being a common sighting. Migrant enterprises operate in various locations, such as wet markets, grocery stores, night markets, and restaurants. This issue is interesting to study, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic due to heightened stigmatisation towards migrants observed on social media. This research aims to evaluate social media opinions and perceptions associated with migrants' entrepreneurship. Social media is a powerful tool to change people's perceptions and reactions towards any issue or group. A subject or event such as migrants' entrepreneurship can trigger many other chain actions and reactions from the public and authorities. Social media opinions were gathered to identify and classify public perceptions of who migrant entrepreneurs are, what types of businesses they conduct, and where their business locations are. This study will also evaluate and analyse social media reactions in the local context, environment, and period. Social media comments were captured to observe public perception towards migrants' entrepreneurship in the COVID-19 environment. The observation was conducted on eight official government agencies' Facebook pages, with 218 Facebook posts related to migrants' entrepreneurship to collect data in netnography. Common themes captured in the comments related to COVID-19 shaped public opinions on the topic. Migrants' entrepreneurship competes with the local markets when operating in businesses not allowed for foreigners. Migrant enterprises received adverse reactions on social media despite being frequented by locals during movement control orders. Negative comments and hostility are common towards migrants in the digital world. Even the authorities who are in charge of governing migrant workers and small traders/ enterprises could not escape the backlash from social media users due to their lack of actions in managing migrants' involvement in business. Improvements in migrants' entrepreneurship governance are needed. Practically, by controlling unlicensed businesses, license rentals, pass abusers and PATI in the country, which are the reasons behind the transformation of migrant workers into migrant entrepreneurs-specifically, loopholes in the legislation and unproductive enforcement actions. The impacts of corruption and abuse of power have created other issues, such as the improper governance of migrant workers in Malaysia. Social media can shape public opinion towards a subject. However, it can also help create a good image for government authorities.

520 $a Transformasi pekerja asing kepada usahawan asing kini menjadi perkara biasa. Perusahaan migran beroperasi di pelbagai lokasi seperti di pasar basah, kedai runcit, pasar malam dan restoran. Ini adalah fenomena menarik untuk dikaji terutamanya semasa pandemik COVID-19 berikutan peningkatan stigma terhadap pendatang telah diperhatikan di media sosial. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk menilai pendapat dan persepsi media sosial yang berkaitan dengan keusahawanan migran. Media sosial adalah alat yang sangat berkuasa yang boleh mengubah persepsi dan reaksi orang ramai terhadap sebarang isu atau kumpulan. Satu subjek atau peristiwa seperti keusahawanan migran boleh mencetuskan banyak tindakan berantai dan reaksi lain daripada orang ramai dan pihak berkuasa. Pendapat media sosial akan dikumpulkan untuk mengenal pasti dan mengklasifikasikan persepsi orang ramai tentang siapa usahawan pendatang, jenis perniagaan yang mereka jalankan dan di mana lokasi perniagaan mereka. Kajian ini juga akan menilai dan menganalisis reaksi media sosial dalam konteks, persekitaran dan tempoh tempatan. Komen media sosial dirakam untuk melihat persepsi orang ramai terhadap keusahawanan migran dalam persekitaran COVID-19. Satu netnografi telah dijalankan di lapan halaman Facebook rasmi agensi kerajaan, di mana 218 siaran Facebook berkaitan keusahawanan migran diperhatikan untuk pengumpulan data untuk menjalankan analisis tematik. Tema biasa yang ditangkap dalam ulasan yang berkaitan dengan pendapat umum berbentuk COVID-19 mengenai topik tersebut. Didedahkan bahawa keusahawanan migran bersaing dengan pasaran tempatan apabila mereka beroperasi dalam perniagaan yang tidak dibenarkan untuk warga asing. Perusahaan migran menerima reaksi negatif di media sosial walaupun sering dikunjungi penduduk tempatan semasa perintah kawalan pergerakan. Migran berdepan dengan komen negatif dan permusuhan dalam dunia digital. Malah pihak berkuasa yang bertanggungjawab mentadbir pekerja migran dan peniaga kecil/perusahaan tidak dapat lari daripada tindak balas daripada pengguna media sosial kerana kurangnya tindakan mereka dalam menguruskan penglibatan migran dalam perniagaan. Beberapa penambahbaikan perlu diambil oleh pihak berkuasa dalam menguruskan keusahawanan migran yang merangkumi pendekatan yang lebih berkesan dalam mengawal perniagaan tidak berlesen, penyewaan lesen, pendera pas dan migran tanpa izin di negara ini yang menjadi punca berlakunya transformasi pekerja migran menjadi usahawan migran. Paling penting, kelemahan dalam perundangan dan tindakan penguatkuasaan yang tidak produktif kerana hasil rasuah dan salah guna kuasa telah mewujudkan isu-isu lain dalam tadbir urus pekerja asing yang tidak betul di Malaysia. Media sosial mempunyai kuasa untuk membentuk pendapat umum terhadap sesuatu subjek tetapi potensi sebenar dalam mewujudkan imej baik pihak berkuasa kerajaan masih belum dimanfaatkan oleh mereka.
