Bangladesh plans to resume sending workers to Malaysia by December, according to a report by New Age published on Thursday. The development marks a significant step in the bilateral labor migration corridor between the two countries.

Plan Details

The New Age report stated that the Bangladeshi government has set December as the target to restart the worker deployment process to Malaysia. The initiative is expected to strengthen labor market ties between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur.

Background

A large number of Bangladeshi workers are employed across various sectors in Malaysia. The recruitment process had remained suspended due to a series of complications in recent times. If the new plan is implemented, the Malaysian labor market will reopen for Bangladeshi workers.

Next Steps

Authorities are reportedly prioritizing the swift completion of the necessary procedures. Administrative and diplomatic efforts are expected to be undertaken to commence operations within December, as mentioned in the report.
