Ahead of bilateral meetings and a planned protest, Human Resources Minister M Saravanan has defended Malaysia's stand to limit the number of Bangladeshi recruiters allowed to send their citizens as labourers here.

Speaking to Malaysiakini, Saravanan, who is scheduled to lead a ministry delegation for a Joint Working Group (JWG) meeting in Dhaka tomorrow, said he is personally unafraid of any protest reportedly planned by Bangladeshi labour recruiters unhappy with Malaysia's restrictions.
