MELAKA: Expensive airfares and flight cancellations due to Cyclone Remal have left scores of Bangladeshis in limbo as they are unable to meet the May 31 deadline for the hiring of foreign workers through the Labour Recalibration Programme 2.0 .
The 45-year-old social activist from Malim here said he has been receiving many calls from stranded workers and the companies that have paid for all the necessary documents to bring the foreigners into Malaysia before May 31. John Gananathan said the Malaysia-bound workers were first stranded on May 26 and 27 when airlines flying out from Dhaka cancelled flights because of a powerful cyclone that had smashed into low-lying Bangladesh and India, killing at least 65 people on Sunday.
John Gananathan suggested the Home Ministry give leeway to those who had applied and met the requirements for the Labour Recalibration Programme 2.0, due to unforeseen circumstances.
