DhakaMalaysia-bound Bangladeshis pay up to 400,000 taka, reports say.
Minister Mir Shahe Alam announced that Malaysia would recruit 200,000 Bangladeshis over six months.
Malaysia has approved only 10 Bangladeshi agencies since 2016, and the agreed migration cost was 37,000 to 40,000 taka.
Malaysian spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil said the 200,000 figure was not an official government position.
