A federation has objected to an arrangement under which workers are sent to Malaysia through a limited number of institutions, according to a report by Nepali media. The federation said restricting recruitment to a few agencies was problematic for workers and the economy.
The objection comes amid ongoing debate over Nepal’s labour migration and diaspora policy. The issue was reported by Nepali media on October 5 and 6, 2026. Nepal Views reported on the federation’s objection.
Concerns over recruitment limits
The federation’s position focuses on the arrangement’s reliance on a limited number of institutions to send workers to Malaysia. It argues that restricting recruitment to a few agencies raises concerns for both workers and the economy.
