The government would start registering the names of Bangladeshis seeking jobs in Malaysia from January 13 next year, Khandker Mosharraf Hossain, expatriates' welfare and overseas employment minister, said on Monday.

Registration will be done at 4,500 information and service centres at union parishad offices across the country, the minister said at a press conference at his Secretariat office in the afternoon.

A database of 35,000 job seekers would be made, among them 10,000 would be sent to Malaysia at a cost of not more than Tk 40,000 per person, the minister added.

Workers of Dhaka and Barisal divisions interested to go to Malaysia will have to register their names through online between January 13 and 15.

Workers of Rajshahi, Rangpur and Sylhet divisions will be able to register their names between January 14 and 16. The names of the selected workers will be announced on January 17.

Workers of Chittagong and Khulna divisions will be able to register their names between January 15 and 17. Their selection will be made on January 18, he added.

The Malaysian government unofficially stopped hiring Bangladeshi workers from 2009 following allegations of corruption and irregularities in the recruitment process.

In September this year, the Bangladesh government held detailed talks with the Malaysian human resource minister in Dhaka so that they could resume recruitment under state arrangements.

Later on November 26, Malaysia lifted its “unofficial ban” through signing of a memorandum of understanding with Bangladesh.
