Bangladesh has launched an initiative to send 10,000 workers to Malaysia with zero migration costs through state recruitment agency BOESL. Speaking at a press conference at the expatriates' welfare ministry on Thursday, BOESL Managing Director Mohammad Rashedul Haque announced that worker deployments are scheduled to begin before December.
The government has received 568 demand letters from Malaysian employers so far. In the first phase, final selection began on Thursday for 112 male workers hired by logistics company DHL. More than 4,000 candidates applied online between 6 and 8 November following an official job circular published on 5 November.
Malaysia remains Bangladesh's second-largest overseas labour market. Officials emphasised that the government is committed to ethical, transparent and cost-free recruitment, ensuring workers secure documented overseas employment without falling victim to illegal middleman fees or fraudulent exploitation.
