Malaysia will give major consideration to the applications of Bangladeshi workers who lost the opportunity due to political developments in their country, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the Bangladeshi government had appealed to Malaysia on the possibility of increasing workers and professional intake from the country. “I will certainly give that major consideration, at least the first phase, subject to all conditions being met, can be taken as soon as possible,” he said in a joint press conference with Chief Advisor of Bangladesh’s Interim Government, Dr Muhammad Yunus, after a bilateral meeting here today.
Anwar is on a one-day visit and this is the first visit by a head of foreign government to Bangladesh since the formation of an interim government led by Muhammad, a Nobel laureate.
On investment, Anwar said that both countries should prioritise giving attention and preference to investing firms, ensuring that any problems were addressed swiftly and in a transparent manner.
