Be good hosts to Bangladeshis, Nazri tells Malaysians

Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz today urged Malaysians to be gracious hosts to Bangladeshi workers coming to the country to work in sectors that are unappealing to locals. He said the contribution of Bangladeshis should not be belittled because there would be industries crippled without them. "Don't make light of their contributions to the Malaysian economy. "We need them, so be good hosts to them. They are doing work that Malaysians don't want to do," he said today. Nazri was commenting on Putrajaya's plan to open its doors to 1.5 million Bangladeshi workers. He said Malaysians did not have to be surprised, as the number was the size of the workforce that Bangladesh was ready to supply to any country that needed workers. "It does not mean that 1.5 million people are coming here. We will only take in the workers when we need them," he said. – February 18, 2016. MORE TO COME]]>
