The Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia has issued a warning to Bangladeshi citizens aspiring to work in Malaysia’s Sabah state, cautioning them about a fraudulent recruitment syndicate. The High Commission clarified that there is currently no agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the governments of Bangladesh and Malaysia for recruiting workers to Sabah. Additionally, no decision has been made by Sabah authorities to hire Bangladeshi workers.
In a public notice issued on Friday (August 1), the High Commission revealed that a syndicate is deceiving job seekers by collecting passports and cash under the false pretense of arranging employment in Sabah. The notice emphasized that no official recruitment process for Bangladeshi workers in Sabah exists at present, and discussions with relevant Sabah authorities are still ongoing.
The High Commission urged Bangladeshi workers to avoid falling for the syndicate’s misleading claims and to refrain from engaging in any financial transactions with such groups until an official agreement or MoU is signed between the governments of Bangladesh and Malaysia. The public will be informed through the Bangladesh High Commission’s official website in Kuala Lumpur once approval for recruiting Bangladeshi workers in Sabah is granted by the relevant authorities.
