Malaysia to recruit 5 lakh Bangladeshis in 3-year

Malaysia will recruit 500,000 workers from Bangladesh in the next three years through the new memorandum of understanding (MOU).

Bangladesh High Commissioner to Malaysia Golam Sarwar said, the first batch comprising 53 Bangladeshi workers were brought into the country last week as part of the MOU to work in the manufacturing sector.

Malaysian Human Resources Association president Zarina Ismail said Bangladesh workers would only help to fill the gap in certain sectors such as manufacturing.
