DHAKA, Oct 17, 2012 (BSS) - Expatriate Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Engineer Khandker Mosharraf Hossain today said the government would send five lakh workers to Malaysia by the next five years.
"The government would send workers to Kuala Lumpur under the Government to Government (G to G) arrangement first to reduce high migration cost," Mosharraf said while addressing an installation ceremony of the newly elected non-gazetted government employee's samity of Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) here.
