Malaysian authorities have agreed to recruit 10,000 Bangladeshi workers completely free of cost following a special request from the Bangladesh government.
The Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Foreign Employment disclosed the development in a press release.
According to the release, the 10,000 workers will be sent to Malaysia without bearing any migration costs, including airfare.
The first batch of workers will be deployed on special chartered flights through the government-run Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL), marking the resumption of sending Bangladeshi workers to the Malaysian labour market.
The ministry described the initiative as a major milestone for Bangladeshi workers seeking employment opportunities in Malaysia.
