Putrajaya nafi Malaysia rancang ambil 200,000 pekerja Bangladesh
Jurucakap Kerajaan Fahmi Fadzil berkata kenyataan timbalan menteri Bangladesh itu tidak wakili pendirian rasmi Dhaka.
Putrajaya has denied allegations that it plans to take 200,000 workers from Bangladesh over the next six months. Fahmi Fadzil, a spokesman for the government, stated that the claim was made by a Bangladesh minister and does not represent the official stance of the Malaysian government. The statement was clarified by a deputy minister, indicating it was not an official declaration from the Bangladeshi government.
Yesterday, Deputy Minister of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives of Bangladesh, Mir Shahe Alam, claimed that Malaysia planned to take around 200,000 Bangladeshi workers within six months. He spoke to reporters after High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh, Shuhada Othman, met with Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Abdul Moyeen Khan.
Meanwhile, Fahmi said that 1,476 known Myanmar refugees who have voluntarily agreed to return to their country have signed the necessary documents. Fahmi addressed the concerns of UNHCR High Commissioner for Refugees regarding the safety of returning refugees in Myanmar, stating that this information was conveyed by Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan during the Cabinet meeting.
Of the over 10,000 detained Myanmar refugees, 5,000 were screened by the Home Ministry and their names forwarded to the Myanmar embassy. Of this list, Myanmar's government agreed to accept the return of 1,476 refugees. At Putra Palace, specifically the Foreign Minister's office, it was clarified that the refugees would be safe in Myanmar.
