Malaysian government will give 50 percent quota to Pakistan for the import of manpower from its all source countries. According to official sources, after including Pakistan in the list of manpower source countries, Malaysia has given a target of 100,000 workers to Pakistan. The formal export of Pakistani manpower to Malaysia has started this week when first batch of over 400 workers moved to Malaysia.
Sources said Malaysia has expressed its satisfaction over the Pakistan's workers and pledged to provide all basic facilities during their stay in Malaysia.
Both countries have already exchanged high level delegations to discuss modalities regarding the export of Pakistani manpower to Malaysia.
It was also decided that in case of early completion of one project before work tenure in Malaysia, Pakistani worker could engage himself in another project.
Both countries also agreed to minimise the involvement of middlemen in the export of manpower to check the exploitation of workers. It may be mentioned that Malaysia has recently adjusted 1,100 Pakistani workers and granted them legal stay, out of 2,800 illegal workers.
This demand was part of Malaysia's overall requirement of 100,000 workers in various sectors, official sources said.
It was learnt that a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani (NICOP) will be issued to each Pakistani emigrant to double-check the security clearance.
Earlier, during an official visit to Pakistan, a high level Malaysian delegation of its Home Affairs Ministry/Immigration Department had expressed its satisfaction over screening mechanism devised by the Ministry of Interior and transparent handling of the recruitment of workers by the Ministry of Labour, Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis.
An annual outflow of Pakistanis' workforce to the international market range from 150,000 to 200,000 in 28 different categories.
