The Malaysian government has taken steps to stop the syndicate of listed 100 agencies that create problem in recruiting Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia.
Home Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced this at a press conference on Friday (March 8).
The workers now will be able to directly apply for eVisa applications through the Immigration Department's MyVisa portal. The government has also provided active IDs and user manuals to employers on the hiring of Bangladeshi migrant workers, he said.
At the same time, Saifuddin also defended the government's decision to nullify the migrant worker quotas which remained unused after 31 March.
This, he said, was as employers would have until 31 May this year, to bring the migrant workers to Malaysia once visas are approved.
