Bangladesh objects to Malaysia's conditions over recruitment syndicate fears: Asif Nazrul 'Only a small number of recruiting agencies would get the opportunity, and that is something we do not want,' he says

We also urge media, activists, rights community, and other stakeholders to give this matter immediate attention. The Bangladeshi High Commission and the Expatriates Ministry have failed to protect victims of modern slavery, instead creating an environment of retaliation following their involvement.
