Tragedy of stranded workers

About 20,000 workers from 14 countries were staying on the floors of the two international air terminals in Kuala Lumpur until yesterday. Among them, about 5 thousand workers are from Bangladesh.

At the last minute, there was an overcrowding of workers at the Kuala Lumpur airport. This is increasing the suffering of workers and employers. Employers are struggling to identify their employees.

The workers say that they have been staying at the airport for three to four days. Some are finding employers, some are not.

Employers are asking them to just wait. Many say that the employer has also told them not to hire them.

When an attempt was made to talk to the employers about these grievances of the workers, an unnamed person said,

“We have not talked about the workers going back.” But due to excessive pressure it is becoming difficult to find them. This is why time is needed.

To cope with this huge pressure of expatriate workers, the country’s immigration department has set a schedule for employers to find workers.

UN Letter on Corruption

On March 28, four independent experts of the United Nations wrote to the governments of Malaysia and Bangladesh about the corruption in the recruitment process of Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia.

However, the governments of both countries have not responded to this letter, the United Nations said.

Last Sunday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published this letter. UN experts Tomoya Obokata, Robert McCorquodale, Gehad Madi and Siobhan Mullally wrote the letter.

According to the letter, the Bangladeshi workers have to pay a recruitment fee of between four and a half to six thousand dollars per person, which is a violation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

signed between the two countries in 2021. According to the MoU, this fee will be up to $720. Bangladeshi expatriates pay the highest recruitment fees globally, which are much higher than the prevailing market rates. A criminal network operates in the recruitment process of Bangladeshi workers.

They cheat the workers and hire them in fake companies. There is a lack of accountability of employers, agents and government officials involved in this recruitment.

UN experts have asked both governments for details on the investigation, prosecution of perpetrators and ethical recruitment policies.

However, as no government has responded within 60 days, it is reported that this letter will be presented to the Human Rights Council.
