After BDR carnage, it was another stumble for Bangladesh as more than 300 Bangladeshi workers returned home Friday from Malaysia. Remittances by workers (who work abroad) are the highest foreign exchange earner for Bangladesh after ready made garments. The workers arrived at the Zia International Airport here Thursday night. A flight of the Malaysian Airlines was carrying their Dhaka. According to ATN Bangla (a private TV channel) more workers from different countries such as Singapore and the Maldives, may return home by the end of this month.

Earlier, Kuala Lumpur had cancelled visas of almost 55,000 Bangladeshi workers Wednesday. Their visas were cancelled citing unemployment caused by global recession.
The Malaysian administration has justified its action citing unemployment. However, the New Straits Times, Malaysia editorially criticized the move as being ‘unfair’ to Bangladesh. It showed logic on their opinion ‘Visas of workers from only Bangladesh had been cancelled.’ On the other hand, the Daily Star, Bangladesh reported the situation was ‘worrisome’ and urged the government to do its best to stem the tide of returning workers. Nonetheless, Dhaka’s relations with Kuala Lumpur on this front have been uneven.

After a long 10 years ban, Kuala Lumpur started hiring Bangladeshi workforces in August 2006 and had recruited more than 400,000 workers since then. In 2008 Malaysia placed a temporary ban after several workers had staged a sit-in before the Bangladesh high commission in Kuala Lumpur. Even they squatted on the road and one of the workers caught fever and died. That time the workers alleged that they were cheated by touts and Malaysian employers.

Reposition on manpower export in the face of global recession is one of the vital promises made by Awami League. Awami League with its grand alliance had won a massive poll victory December 2008 and made government headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Bangladeshi government already started to communicate with high level authority. But the analysts say that there is no hope to solve the problem before 30 March as the general election in Malaysia is going to be held that day. And Bangladesh wants to talk with the new government on this font.
