The Bangladesh government plans to finalize all procedures and begin sending workers to Malaysia before December, having received 568 demand letters so far. Mohammad Rashedul Haque, Managing Director of Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL), announced the development during a press conference at the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
As part of a broader initiative to deploy 10,000 Bangladeshi workers to Malaysia at zero migration cost, final selection began today for the first batch of 112 male workers recruited by Malaysian logistics company DHL. Following the receipt of DHL's demand letter on November 2 and a circular published on November 5, BOESL received 4,029 online applications between November 6 and 8. To ensure transparency, 300 candidates—200 for Operations Assistant and 100 for Technical Skill Worker roles—were shortlisted via an automated software lottery on November 8. A nine-member delegation from Malaysia is currently in Dhaka conducting direct practical exams and interviews from November 12 to 15 without any interference from BOESL.

He issued a stern warning that strict legal action will be taken against both middlemen and candidates if any financial transaction or broker involvement is detected at any stage of the recruitment process.
