SUNGKAI, July 28 – The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) constantly monitors the safety of students still in Bangladesh through cooperation with Wisma Putra.
Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said that according to Wisma Putra, approximately 40 students from higher education institutions (IPTs) are among the Malaysians remaining in Bangladesh.
“I understand that those (Malaysians) in Bangladesh include some working in specific sectors, not many but they are professionals.
“There are also students who feel that they are not disturbed by the situation there, but their numbers are small,” he told reporters after launching the Tanjong Malim UMNO division meeting on Sunday.
Thousands of students in Bangladesh have been demonstrating since July 1 following a court decision to reinstate quotas for public sector jobs that were abolished in 2018.
