Bangladesh will begin sending new workers to Malaysia through BOESL in the final week of August, Mahdi Amin said at a meeting with journalists at the Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. The announcement was reported on August 6, 2026, and concerns the reopening of worker recruitment to Malaysia.

Amin addressed the press as the prime minister’s representative in the presence of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury, who was visiting Malaysia. Amin is identified as the minister’s spokesperson and an adviser to the prime minister.

He said senior-level discussions between the two countries had been positive and productive, aimed at reopening the previously closed labor market and swiftly completing arrangements for transparent, low-cost worker recruitment. The government is committed to keeping the labor market free of syndicates and transparent so ordinary workers can travel safely to Malaysia at lower cost, he said.
