Bangladesh PM Meets Labor Tycoon Aminul Islam Amid Recruitment Controversy The recent visit by Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to Malaysia has highlighted a long standing issue in their bilateral relations: the recruitment of migrant workers from Bangladesh.
At the center of controversy is Aminul Islam, a businessman accused of trafficking and exploiting migrant workers through his company Bestinet's software system.
Labor exploitation is endemic in Malaysia's recruitment process, as exposed by Bloomberg's investigation in January.
