PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia – Bangladesh and Malaysia signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Monday (November 26th), paving the way for Bangladeshi workers to begin rolling into Malaysia, local media reported.
The website bdnews24.com reported the country will send a total of 500,000 labourers, with 50,000 in the first batch that begins arriving in January. They will have eight-month visas and will be chosen from a pool of applicants who register online.
Bernama reported that a second MoU signed Monday provides an avenue for strategic co-operation between the countries' respective law enforcement agencies, including information and intelligence sharing.
"Among other areas to be covered by the transnational-crime MoU are terrorism, money-laundering and terrorist financing, commercial and economic crime, smuggling of migrants and cybercrime," said Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
