Simple people from rural parts of Bangladesh sell their land or even
homestead to arrange money to go to Malaysia for some work and income. But their
dreams are swept away by the local and Malaysian manpower agents. Several kind
of frauds are played on these simple people. After arrival in Malaysia - they
become property of Fraud Manpower agents. Many of them don't get a job according
to the contract of Agents of both countries. Several months and even years of
waiting finally makes these Bangladeshi victims grow impatient and make them
leave these agents leaving their passport behind in the hope that they would be
able to find jobs and stay illegally. Eventually they end up in police camp or
prison or immigration camp - where they suffer the consequences of illegal
staying.
While fraud agents live their lives luxuriously on stolen dreams - these simple rural people suffer the hell.

Governments of both countries can set up strict
rules for manpower agents and set up a special force to find out all those
bloodsucking monstrous fraud manpower agents. But along with that a little
cooperation between Governments of both countries can make the lives of the
existing victims much easier - at least an accord could be made to enable the
Bangladesh prisoners in Malaysia to come back home without hassle.
As far my concerns go, Indonesian government has made an agreement with Malaysian government to take back their workers by sending ship once a week to Malaysia. Bangladesh Govt. can follow Indonesian policy. Later Bangladeshi Govt. can charge the transportation cost from the victims after arrival.
Another way Bangladesh can arrange special flights of Bangladesh Biman to take back prisoner from Malaysia. In this way Govt. can help our nationals and reduce the cost of ticket money and on the other hand Bangladesh biman can reduce its loss for international flights at least Dhaka Malaysia route.
Foreign ministry can sign a contact with Malaysian Govt. for employing a Bangladeshi representative who will work with prisoner and his family in the immigration camp. He should be given free access to immigration camp to talk with all Bangladeshi prisoner.
Bangladesh govt. can take back those cost from victim's family or they can build a foreign welfare trust. Manpower agent, or Bangladeshi people who are staying in different countries they can donate to this trust.
So, government needs proper plan and goodwill to our nationals. The government of Bangladesh should ensure that the people who goes to work in another land and send remittance to this country are treated well with honor and dignity.
I think foreign ministry and labor ministry will think about it. Government should not forget that remittance is the major source of our foreign reserve. Bangladeshi immigrants are contributing a lot to develop our economic status. So, people of Bangladesh expects a solid solution to take back illegal Bangladeshi workers from abroad including Malaysia and punish the fraud agents to the extreme.
