Bangladeshis can work at Sarawak province of Malaysia as well after the amended “Memorandum of Understanding on Employment of Workers” is signed with the Southeast Asian country. Currently, Bangladeshis get jobs only in the mainland of Malaysia.
Cabinet Secretary M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan told reporters after a cabinet meeting that approved the amended deal yesterday. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina presided over the meeting.
The cabinet also approved the Ministry of Home’s proposal, ‘Agreement between the government of Malaysia and that of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh on the Partial Abolition of Visa Requirement”, he said.
Once the deal is signed, it will allow Bangladesh diplomats and officials 90-day visa waiver, said the cabinet secretary, adding that the 21-year-old unmarried children of the diplomats and their families will also enjoy the facility.
The deal will not have any time limit, as he said it can be renewed or cancelled any time.
