00:00Former MP Charles Santiago has urged the government to replace its Memorandum of Understanding
00:07with Bangladesh on the recruitment of foreign workers with a legally binding document.
00:13Santiago said the existing document needs to be rewritten to outline clear rules regarding
00:18the treatment and mobility of migrant workers.
00:21He said the new agreement should also incorporate the Employer Pays Principle, which requires
00:26employers to bear the workers' flight tickets and recruitment fees.
00:31Santiago said several large firms in Malaysia had already adopted this policy to keep workers
00:36from being forced to pay for their recruitment and passage to Malaysia.
00:41He also said the revised agreement should include a mechanism that would allow migrant
00:45workers to put aside a portion of their earnings as savings.
00:50Last week, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia would prioritise taking in Bangladeshis
00:55who lost the opportunity to seek work due to political turmoil in their home country.
