Kathmandu: Minister for Labor Gokarna Bista and his Malaysian counterpart signed off an agreement on the Nepalese labor working in Malaysia.
According to the Radio Nepal news and the news in “gorkhapatra”, from now on Nepalis going to work in Malaysia would not need to pay anything, as the concerned employer would pay, and they would be covered by the Malaysian labor law for the social security.
The concerned company or individuals hiring the Nepalese labor would foot the bills for the health checkup, visa fee, security check, and the air ticket for flying to Malaysia and coming back to Nepal. Within six hours of the arrival at the Malaysian airport, Nepalese labor would be picked up and taken to the predetermined work destination.
Within seven days of every month, the salary would be deposited in the concerned bank account of the Nepalese labor. The salary would not be less than the minimum salary the Malaysian government has set.
The Nepalese labor could keep the passports with them. The labor contract would be for two years.
If any of the dearest family members such as parents, wives or children were dead in Nepal then, the laborer would get 15 days leave for visiting Nepal.
The Malaysian Labor insurance law would be applicable to the Nepalese labor for insuring the Nepalese laborers for the work accident and health insurance.
In case, a company is closed or the employer mistreats the laborers then the laborers could work for another company.
Both the countries would monitor and regularize the employment opportunities, and labor supply.
However, this agreement would not cover the Nepalese already working in Malaysia, and would cover only those who would go to Malaysia for work from now on.
