KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — The Human Resources Ministry’s accreditation of 25 companies to recruit workers from Bangladesh was done to avoid monopolistic practices as well to safeguard the welfare and livelihood of the workers, said its minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.
Saravanan said in effort to create better accessibility for potential workers and to ensure better governance of the recruitment process, his ministry selected the 25 companies from a list of 1,520 provided by the Manpower Ministry of Bangladesh. The Human Resources Ministry only deals with the 25 designated companies which will be closely monitored so as to guarantee that International Labour Organisation guidelines relating to the welfare of the workers are adhered to, he explained.
Contrary to that, he said his ministry is only involved in giving approvals to the respective companies to recruit foreign workers to meet their production demands, and as of now, there are 14 source countries in which companies can source their workers from, not particularly only from Bangladesh. “To date, the department has approved approximately 230,000 workers. I would like to congratulate everyone in the Human Resources Ministry for their tireless efforts in helping our business and industry players to overcome their labour shortage predicament.
