Malaysia will start recruiting Bangladeshi workers from August, said Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Imran Ahmed on Saturday.

“The decision of returning illegal workers to the country from Malaysia has been finalised… Moreover, the recruitment of new workers will begin in the next month of August as the first step in this regard is done,” said he.

Ahmed said it while talking to the reporters after paying homage at the mausoleum of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Tungipara of Gopalganj district, as per agencies reports.

“We have discussed about the labour market with Malaysia. Trained female workers will be sent from now on so that they could work there without facing any difficulty,” he added.
