The Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia has issued a warning regarding fraudulent activities involving the illegal recruitment of Bangladeshi female workers to Malaysia.
In a statement on Friday, the high commission clarified that currently, there is no agreement or memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Bangladesh government and Malaysia for the recruitment of female workers.
In addition, the high commission has received reports that an organised group of fraudsters is bringing Bangladeshi women to Malaysia on tourist or other types of visas, falsely promising employment opportunities. Such activities not only pose financial and psychological risks to the affected workers but may also harm Bangladesh's image in Malaysia, it said.
The high commission urged Bangladeshi women not to travel to Malaysia for general employment until a formal agreement is signed between the two governments.
