Another Flip-Flop?

The Malaysian Embassy in Nepal has abruptly taken down its public notice on Facebook dated May 18 about exclusive rights granted to 36 medical institutions in Nepal to conduct medical examination on Malaysia-bound migrant workers under the Sistem Bio-Medik (BMS).

The notice highlighted the additional charge of 3,000 Nepalese rupee (about RM100) on each migrant worker to Malaysia.

Malaysiakini report says two companies - including Malaysia's Bestinet Sdn Bhd - were given authorised rights to manage the BMS in Nepal, including collection of charges and monetary remittance.

The other company is Macro Tech Pvt Ltd.

Why the flip-flop?

Malaysiakini says Malaysia's public notice on Facebook had raised more questions than answers.

Here's a reply from Home Ministry (PKR) to Malaysiakini BM, shuffling the responsibility to HR Ministry (also PKR) under Minister R. Ramanan:

QUOTE:

"Sementara itu, Kementerian Luar Negeri (KLN) pula kesal kerana notis yang dimuat naik oleh pejabat perwakilan Malaysia itu mengandungi maklumat “kurang tepat”.

Bagaimanapun, Wisma Putra menegaskan mereka hanya berperanan sebagai saluran komunikasi diplomatik, manakala dasar dan pelaksanaan berkaitan pengurusan pekerja asing terletak bawah bidang kuasa Kementerian Sumber Manusia (Kesuma).

“Mengenai hantaran yang dimuat naik di platform media sosial Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di Kathmandu pada 18 Mei 2026, pihak KLN mengambil maklum dan kesal berikutan notis awam di laman web sosial pejabat perwakilan yang mempunyai maklumat yang kurang tepat.

“Notis ini tidak sama sekali mengubah fakta bahawa penentuan dasar, kriteria dan pelaksanaan rasionalisasi agensi perekrutan ini kekal sepenuhnya bawah bidang kuasa dan seliaan Kesuma,” kata kementerian itu kepada Malaysiakini.

Let's see what's cooking between Ramanan-Kesuma and Bestinet this time, from Bangladesh to Nepal.

These kinds of news are more concerning to me than any political announcements

[The Star @staronline]

Tens of thousands of people were stuck in long queues at entry points nationwide after Malaysia's entire immigration system crashed for five hours between 4.30am and 9.30am on Thursday (May 28), forcing officers to clear travellers manually.

STATEMENT: Two UN Bodies Just Told Bestinet: Don’t Put Our Names on This

This week, two of the most credible international bodies on labour and migration drew a clear line. The ILO said it does not endorse Bestinet or its Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS).

Not a good look for a law firm and its lawyers when their statements are refuted by the body they hope will give their client the credibility they so desperately seek.

We have all heard about migrant trafficking in Malaysia and we all have heard so much about Bestinet and their FWCMS.

STATEMENT: When a Press Statement is Expected to do the Work of an Audit!

Bestinet’s lawyers have issued a press statement so polished it practically glows and so should it, given how much public money has flowed through this operation.

A Bangladeshi lawyer has called on Malaysia to probe a human trafficking syndicate involving Bangladeshi workers, following the remand of a former MP in Dhaka over trafficking and misappropriation.

Rafiqul Islam told Malaysiakini that while over 100 individuals have been identified and some arrested in Bangladesh, no action has been taken in Malaysia.

Amazing that in Malaysia there has been no traction for more than a year since the crackdown in Bangladesh https://t.co/1v71Km5QH8
