MP and rights groups ask Saravanan to clarify why and how 25 Bangladeshi agencies allowed to recruit workers for Malaysia were chosen

KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — An MP and two migrant workers’ rights groups have urged Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan to explain his decision for only allowing 25 Bangladeshi agencies to recruit workers for Malaysia.

“It is up to the minister to clarify how these 25 agencies will solve the problem. This issue has been dilly-dallied long enough, and it’s being done at the expense of the people and the country,” he said when contacted byCharles was referring to Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Abdul Nor, who is the founder of Bestinet — the company that provided the Malaysian government with the Foreign Workers Centralised Management System and continues to manage the system.

Meanwhile, Beyond Borders president Mahi Ramakrishnan said Saravanan owes it to the public and stakeholders to provide a clarification on how the selection of the 25 recruitment agencies was conducted. “However, Saravanan himself also said he has no power to stop Bangladeshi agents collecting money before departure,” the refugee rights activist said.

In April this year, the Malaysian Employers Federation issued a statement calling on the government to allow refugees and undocumented migrant workers to work legally in the country to ease the current labour crunch.Nevertheless, Saravanan has stated that the limited number of agencies would curb the problem of unscrupulous parties taking advantage of migrant workers.

“Human trafficking is a totally different issue more to do with a lack of enforcement and a lack of due to diligence from companies . The issue at hand is about setting the best standard for legal worker recruitment.

Same like how DrZahidHamidi did when he was KDN Minister. In Kluang, there is 1 Bangla Towkey with big expensive bungalow. Kluang people knew who he is and what he do and with whom he connected too.. This is typical modus operandi for BN politicians.

Please stop bring in bangladeshi .. They will have a member of parlimen Soon as they wished.

Hello..sama kaotimlah

More to the point, how many agencies in M'sia are officially allowed to bring in Bangladeshi workers? How were these agencies chosen? Do they all have established track records & credentials? Saravanan_myg n_izzah hannahyeoh mpklang imokman ramasamydcm IsmailSabri60

Hard to explain. Amin has one agency, a syndicate for the 25. Some like that....
