Bangladesh and Malaysia have signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) Monday on the resumption of manpower recruitment and cooperation in preventing and combating transnational crimes between the two governments, sources said.
The first MoU was signed by EWOE Minister Khandker Mosharraf Hossain and Human Resources Minister of Malaysia Datuk Dr S Subramaniam at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, ministry sources said.
The second MoU was signed by Bangladesh Home Minister Dr. Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and his counterpart Malaysian Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
As per the MoU at first Malaysia will hire 30,000 labourers for its plantation sector, after that it will be sending demand for other sectors, the sources said.
Now there is no bar to send workers to the East Asian nation as the agreement has been signed, said a high official of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment (EWOE).
He said the sending procedure of Bangladeshi job seekers to Malaysia will start shortly and from early next year they will be able to send workers there.
The cabinet last month approved a proposal to sign a MoU with Malaysia on employment of workers through government to government level. As per that MoU, the migration cost will be maximum Tk 40,000 for a jobseeker to get employment in Malaysia.
But earlier, some dishonest manpower agents sent a huge number of workers to Malaysia with fake visa where they charged nearly Tk 200,000 each. Following malpractice by recruiting agencies, Malaysia stopped hiring labourers from Bangladesh in 2009.
Nearly 50,000 workers will fly to Malaysia every six months under the state arrangements, sources said.
They said Malaysia needs workers for plantation, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors immediately and it will recruit all the five category of labourers from Bangladesh.
