Advisor Asif Nazrul announced that Malaysia has agreed in principle to introduce a Graduate Pass Visa for Bangladeshi students studying there. Following a productive meeting with Malaysia’s Minister of Higher Education, Nazrul said both sides must complete certain formalities before the policy is implemented. Currently, around 10,000 Bangladeshi students are enrolled in Malaysian universities but lack the post-study employment opportunities available to students from other countries. If enacted, the visa will open the Malaysian job market to them. Professor Muhammad Yunus also urged Malaysian authorities to officially recognize Bangladeshi degrees. In a separate meeting, the Malaysian Education Minister expressed strong interest in Yunus’s “Three Zero” campaign — aiming for zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero carbon emissions.
