112 Workers Being Selected in First Phase for Malaysia

The government has taken an initiative to send 10,000 workers to Malaysia free of cost. As part of the initiative, 112 male workers are being selected in the first phase.

Mohammad Rashedul Haque, managing director of Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL), disclosed the information at a press conference held at the Probashi Kallyan Bhaban in the capital on Thursday morning.

The selected workers will have the opportunity to work at DHL Supply Chain (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

In his written statement, Mohammad Rashedul Haque said, “The initiative to send 10,000 workers to Malaysia entirely free of cost through BOESL will be implemented subject to receiving demand letters.”

Responding to a question, he said that BOESL had so far received 568 demand letters against the target of 10,000 workers. The process of sending the workers would begin in phases, subject to attestation by the Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia.

Rashedul Haque said, “A nine-member delegation from Malaysia has arrived in Dhaka to make the final selection of 112 workers from among the 300 initially shortlisted.”
