On September 2, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil clarified that a claim by a Bangladeshi junior minister regarding Malaysia's plan to recruit 200,000 Bangladeshi workers is not the official stance of the Bangladeshi government. Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R Ramanan confirmed that the statement was made by a junior minister and did not represent the official position of Bangladesh.
Fahmi informed the press conference that the Cabinet was informed about the repatriation of 1,476 Myanmar nationals held in immigration detention depots. All of them had signed documents to return to Myanmar voluntarily, and 1,476 names were approved by the Home Ministry and submitted to the Myanmar Embassy. The repatriation is scheduled to occur at the end of September, with assurances from the Myanmar government regarding the safety of those being returned.
