NEW DELHI: Workers from Bangla- desh will arrive in Malaysia in batches starting from the second week of next month, says the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET).
Dhaka Tribune reported that the decision came after Bangladesh's labour wing in Malaysia held a meeting last Thursday with Malaysian government officials.
It added that the sending of Bangladesh workers had been delayed because of the recent general election in Malaysia.
A four-member delegation, led by BMET director-general Begum Shamsun Nahar, left Dhaka yesterday to hold a joint technical committee meeting today in Malaysia.
"We will discuss technical matters and how to expedite the migration process to Malaysia," said Nahar.
She said Malaysia planned to recruit 30,000 Bangladeshi workers for its plantation sector.
BMET said only 180 workers had gone to Malaysia to work in the plantation sector.
It said the Bangladesh government had randomly selected 10,000 workers from a database created through online registration held across the country.
The Bangladeshi government had signed a memorandum of understanding with Malaysia on Nov 26 last year, agreeing to send workers at a low migration cost. Bernama
