Malaysia has agreed to receive 18,000 Bangladeshi workers who previously missed a deadline to enter the country, said Dr Asif Nazrul, adviser to the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment.
“Now, the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare of Bangladesh will work with our Malaysian counterparts to establish a roadmap for sending these workers,” he added, reports UNB.
Asif Nazrul made the remarks after attending an agreement signing ceremony on protection and welfare of Bangladesh workers in Malaysia, at Expatriates’ Welfare Bhaban, between the Wage Earners’ Welfare Board and Perkeso, a Malaysian government body.
He also said a special lounge will be set up at the airport within a month for the Middle East-bound migrant workers.
Once the lounge becomes operational, it will significantly benefit the expatriate workers, he added.
