We were encouraged when the Malaysian Prime Minister assured the Chief Adviser in NY that all problems pertaining to the BD workers in that country would be solved, but now we hear that Malaysia has imposed a blanket ban on BD workers!! What is this? Why around 300,000 would be workers had to be put in this situation? It seems that the present administration is more interested in pushing those hapless workers to different countries than engaging in wise and effective negotiations. We suggest the government immediately send officials to other manpower exporting countries, like the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Egypt....to learn as to how to ensure proper safeguards for our workers.
