Malaysian authorities have agreed to recruit 10,000 Bangladeshi workers completely free of cost following a special request from the Bangladesh government.
The Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Foreign Employment said this in a press release on Friday.
The press release said the 10,000 workers will be sent to Malaysia without any migration costs, including airfare.
The deployment of the first batch of workers on special chartered flights through the government-run BOESL will mark the resumption of sending Bangladeshi workers to the Malaysian labour market.
The initiative has been described in the press release as a major milestone for Bangladeshi workers in the Malaysian labour market.
