Malaysia to recruit Nepali workers under new system from Kartik 19 (November 5)

Malaysia will implement a new system for recruiting workers from Nepal starting November 5.

The arrangement is stated in a circular issued on Tuesday, October 6, by Bestinet, the company that operates the foreign worker recruitment system on behalf of the Malaysian government.

The company said the date was set based on a letter from Malaysia's Ministry of Human Resources, and that medical centers and manpower agencies have been informed of it accordingly.

Under the Foreign Worker Centralized Management System (FWCMS), recruitment from Nepal will take place through a network of 275 agencies — 25 main recruitment agencies and 250 sub-agencies.
