The process of sending stranded Bangladeshi workers to Malaysia is expected to begin by March-April, according to Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Secretary Ruhul Amin. "Our embassy in Kuala Lumpur is in contact with Malaysian authorities," he told reporters today at the ministry amid ongoing protests.
The secretary revealed that 2,500 stranded workers have already been employed in Malaysia, and around 81% of the remaining workers have received compensation from recruiting agencies.
"These workers will get priority in the upcoming migration process," Ruhul Amin assured, adding, "We will ensure compensation for all."
