Meanwhile, data of employment governance in Malaysia were obtained by documentations and literature reviews. The research result shown that both Indonesian and Malaysian government have implemented several policies and program to increase the equal participation of people with disabilities in job market. Indonesia have launched Law No 8/2016 and People with Disabilities Act 2008 in Malaysia, as the basic guidance for providing inclusive employment.
