Announcement language
BSS reported that the bilateral understanding covered all sectors. PSFM does not interpret that phrase as automatic approval for every job title, employer, subsector or candidate.
Five official foreign-worker sectors
Malaysia's Immigration Department identifies manufacturing, construction, agriculture, plantation and services. Review the requirements for your employer's sector before preparing a workforce request.
Role examples remain conditional
Construction trades, service support, farm work, factory production and plantation roles are planning examples. Employers must confirm that each role matches their approved business activity and current policy.
How employers should use the announcement
Prepare a complete demand and evidence pack, confirm the current Malaysian route, and keep contract and worker-protection fields ready. Do not advertise an unverified vacancy from the announcement alone.
Employer Checklist

Common recruitment questions
Is recruitment from Bangladesh to Malaysia operationally open now?
The bilateral reopening has been announced, but an official Bangladesh ministry update published on 28 August 2026 still described the market as set to reopen soon and told workers to wait for an official notice before paying money, undergoing medical examinations or submitting passports. PSFM therefore keeps the status Announced until an implementing authority publishes an active intake route, effective date and actionable process.
Which Malaysia sectors can employers review?
The Malaysian Immigration Department identifies manufacturing, construction, agriculture, plantation and services as approved foreign-worker sectors. Each employer requirement remains subject to the sector, quota, source-country, immigration, medical and other rules in force when the application is made.
Does a role example mean PSFM has a live vacancy or approved quota?
No. Role lists explain possible workforce categories only. A vacancy exists only when a verified Malaysian employer submits a current demand and the applicable authorities permit the route and process.
