Bangladesh may get quota in Malaysia labour market 

State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Shofiqur Rahman Choudhury has said the government is working to get quota in Malaysia labour market, and Bangladesh will continue to export manpower to Malaysia.

The state minister said this while talking to journalists after attending a send-off event for workers departing for Malaysia through BOESL, free of migration expenses, at the Ministry of Expatriate Welfare and Overseas Employment on Thursday (16 May).

“The government is actively pursuing the reinstatement of the quota. We have reached out to Malaysia, and hopefully, their labour market will continue to remain open for our workers,” he said.

Under the existing quota system, the Malaysian government has mandated that 14 labour-exporting nations, including Bangladesh, must deploy their workers to Malaysia by 31 May.
