Adviser Asif Nazrul held discussions with Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia who have been victims of forced labor. During the meeting, the workers shared their long-standing grievances, to which Nazrul assured he would work toward solutions. He is scheduled to meet Malaysia’s Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong tomorrow to discuss labor market issues. “This trip focuses on labor market concerns. Many of our migrant workers are undocumented or unemployed,” he said. “They are our remittance fighters and deserve support. We will protect national interest as much as possible.” Notably, Malaysia has imposed a ban on new worker entries since June 1 of last year.
