The state minister for expatriates’ welfare and overseas employment is also hopeful that the decision to resume sending Bangladeshi workers to Malaysia will be taken after meetings of a joint working group scheduled for Nov 24 and 25 in Dhaka. Ten Bangladeshi recruitment agencies were permitted to send workers to Malaysia under the five-year contract. On Nov 6, Imran travelled to Kuala Lumpur as part of the government’s efforts to have the Malaysian labour market reopened for Bangladeshi workers. Imran also called on Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and sought his assistance for reopening their labour market for Bangladesh. “During the meeting, the Malaysian government agreed to reopen the country’s labour market for Bangladeshis at the earliest time possible,” said the state minister.
