This study aims to empirically examine the migrant food handlers’ perceived knowledge, skills, and attitudes and their impact on food quality and safety in the context of Malaysia’s foodservice industry. Using the data gathered from 198 supervisors and managers from food premises in Malaysia and analysis using SPSS (version 20) and SmartPLS 3.0 software, this research found that migrant food handlers have moderate perceived knowledge, skills and attitudes in food handling practices impact the food quality and safety. Specifically, this study confirmed that knowledge and attitudes positively and significantly affect food quality and food safety. However, insignificant results were found between skills and food safety, even though it showed a substantial impact on food quality. The findings are original and unique. It is one of the first studies to investigate the knowledge, skills, and attitude of migrant food handlers their effect on food quality and food safety, especially in Malaysia. Besides, this study extends the established theories from the literature on knowledge, skills and attitudes analysing in the foodservice sector. Therefore, this research finding is valuable for food services practitioners to focus on enhancing food quality and safety through the migrant workforce.

This chapter has an inspirational event. During this pandemic, the authors have been volunteering among the Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia, concomitantly finding that marginal people are unsecured for the severe food crisis. In doing this volunteering, a few questions were raised: What is the state's responsibility for the marginal people's food supply? Why does the state ignore its presence? Is there any philosophical reason? And how can these activities be theorized? Finally, how can these people survive? How can it be theorized? The authors endeavoured to answer these questions from the critical paradigm by adopting the philanthropic accountability model. In this empirical study, they argue by applying or testing the Ubuntu for politics and policy about a practical way forward in this new normal for a happier, sustainable, and healthier community.
