Malaysian govt team due today

A five-member Malaysian government delegation will arrive in Dhaka today to finalise the recruitment modality to hire workers from Bangladesh.

Seeking anonymity, a senior official of the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment told The Daily Star," They [Malaysian delegation] did not inform us anything about the finalisation of the recruitment system yet."

The delegation is scheduled to attend a special meeting of the Joint Working Committee on the government to government (G2G) recruitment system tomorrow at Probashi Kalyan Bhaban in the capital tomorrow.

Saripuddin Bin Hj Kasim, secretary general of the Malaysian Human Resources Ministry; and Khandker Md Iftekhar Haider, secretary of the Bangladesh expatriates' welfare ministry, will lead the respective sides.

However, there have been some disagreements between the governments of Bangladesh and Malaysia over the recruitment management system. The meeting is expected to settle down the discords and open more job sectors like construction, manufacturing and services for Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia.
