Bangladeshis are Crying in Malaysia

Government of Bangladesh can help Bangladeshi Prisoners to take back from Malaysia.
Malaysia is a cruel place for foreign workers. After long time imprisonment ( several months to several years )a Bangladeshi arrived in immigrtaion camp to release to comeback his own country. But here in immigration camp another series of oppression and torturing drama begin and it is the most hardiest time for a prisoner. Final mental and physical torturing begin here before leaving the cruel country Malaysia.

Only those worker can come back who has relative or who has money in the pocket. Another all are very unlucky who has to stay long in the camp. In the camp just for communication gap with family or relatives a Bangladeshi has to wait months after months even year to come back to Bangladesh. Many who come back from prison their pocket is empty. So, they cannot make a call to his family to arrange ticket.

Immigration camp is a nasty and dirty place in Malaysia. Some immigration officers are taking opportunity of helpless Bangladeshis. They ask for double money as a ticket fair and related expenditure. If this cost is acceptable, then immigration officer proceed to help the helpless Bangladeshi.

So, to comeback Bangladesh a worker has to pay double to three times higher money to immigration officer. But if Bangladesh embassy i.e Banglaesh government take any cooperative steps, it can be beneficial and helpful  for Bangladeshi victims and victim's  family to comeback shortly from Malaysian Immigration camp.

I saw Indonesian government has made an agreemnet with Malaysian government to take back their workers by sending ship once a week to Malaysia. In this regard Bangladesh can follow Indonesian policy. They can use marrine ship or it can be rented from others. Later they can take back this money from the victims after arrival.

Another way Bangladesh can arrange special flights of Bangladesh Biman to take back prisoners from Malaysia. In this way Govt can help our nationals and reduce the cost of ticket money and on the otherhand Bangladesh biman can reduce its loss for international flights at least Dhaka to Malaysia route.

Foreign ministry can sign a contract with Malaysian govt for employing a Bangladeshi representative who will work with prisoner and his family in the camp. In this regard he has to free acces to immigration camp to talk with all Bangladeshi prisoner.

Bangladesh govt can take back those cost from victim's family or they can build a foreign welfare trust. Manpower agent, or Bangladeshi immigrants who are staying in different countries they can donate to this trust to helpless workers in Malaysia.

So, government needs proper plan, steps and good wish to our nationals. We do not want see any oppressive behavior and dishonor attitude from another country. We all are Bangladeshi. We may work in another country but we have our own dignity. We are human being. We want to live honorly anywhere in the world.

I think foreign ministry and labor ministry will think our national's problem in abroad. They will come ahead to take back our nationals safely and honorarily. Foreign policy toward our immigrants should be rebuilt.

Government must remember that remittance is the major source of our foreign reserve. Bangladeshi immigrants are contributing a lot to develop our economic status. So,without any delay we are expecting nice solution to take back our illegal Bangladeshi from other countries including Malaysia.
