This is exactly what I was expecting after Dr Muhammad Yunus’s visit to Malaysia. A few days ago, I saw that students from 32 nationalities were eligible for a one-year post-study work visa after completing their degree in Malaysia, but Bangladesh was not on that list, something I didn’t know before. My brother is currently studying at the University of Malaya, and I felt sorry for him thinking he wouldn’t be able to gain any industry experience after graduation, unlike my own experience of receiving a 5 year post-study work visa in Australia.
Thank you, Dr Yunus, for taking this great initiative on behalf of all Bangladeshi students in Malaysia. This has been a significant discrimination for years, with Bangladeshi students excluded from the graduate visa opportunities that others enjoyed. Hopefully, this change will open doors for their careers and future.
