Bangladesh Mission Warns of Recruitment Scam in Malaysia
Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur on Friday issued a formal notice warning against an organised fraud ring targeting Bangladeshis who wish to work in the Malaysian province of Sabah.
In the notice, Bangladesh High Commission said the scams involve the collection of passports and cash under false promises of employment in Sabah—despite there being no official agreement or MoU between the Bangladeshi and Malaysian authorities for worker recruitment to that region.
The Commission made clear that the Bangladesh government has neither signed any recruitment pact with Sabah authorities nor received instructions from Sabah to recruit workers from Bangladesh.
Discussions are ongoing with the relevant authorities in this regard, added the High Commission.
The Commission also urged people not to engage with these dishonest syndicates or provide any personal documents or payments until a formal agreement is properly signed between the Sabah Province and the Bangladesh government, reports UNB.
Recruitment updates will be announced via the official website of the Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, it added.
