Malaysia akan ambil 200,000 pekerja Bangladesh dalam 6 bulan
Timbalan menteri Bangladesh berkata pengambilan secara berperingkat itu akan dilakukan pelbagai agensi mulai hujung bulan ini.
Malaysia plans to recruit approximately 200,000 workers from Bangladesh over the next six months, according to Dhaka. The process, carried out by various agencies, is set to begin by the end of this month, stated Mir Shahe Alam, the Deputy Minister of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives of Bangladesh. There are about 800,000 registered Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia, some of whom are unregistered.
The minister has requested Malaysian authorities to register them, as per The Daily Star. This came after Malaysia's High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Shuhada Othman, met with Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Abdul Moyeen Khan following a visit by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to Bangladesh last year, urging the Prime Minister to consider reopening the labor market to Bangladeshi workers.
Malaysia has been imposing restrictions on worker recruitment from Bangladesh since 2024, following a report on debt bondage and forced labor. The government aims to reduce the number of foreign workers in Malaysia to around 10% of the total workforce by 2030.
