ISLAMABAD, 9 January 2005 — Malaysian Interior Ministry officials recently refused to meet a Pakistani government delegation that went there to hold negotiations on import of manpower from Pakistan.
The Senate Standing Committee on Labor, Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis was told that the Malaysian government was pursuing its trade interests and giving importance to workers from India instead of Pakistan.
The committee meeting was presided over by Naeem Chattha and attended by senators including Enwar Baig. The disclosure was made by top officials of Bureau of Immigration and Overseas Employment and Overseas Employment Corporation.
They said despite their best efforts, the Labor Ministry officials were not entertained by the Malaysian Interior Ministry. The committee members asked Labor Ministry officials to inform them about the much publicized MOU signed between Pakistan and Malaysia for hiring of Pakistani labor.
