Capital flight to Malaysia
Nowadays, flight of money from the country has gone beyond control. For the black money holders, Malaysia is one of the favourite places where our money finally lands. To settle in Malaysia under the MM2H programme, one needs to deposit liquid assets worth at least 500,000 ringgit (about Tk 1.22 crore) and show offshore income of 10,000 ringgit (about Tk 2.45 lakh) per month. This year, 285 Bangladeshis have applied for enrollment in the programme to get five years' residence permit by making a minimum investment of US $100,000.
These people are creating their wealth on the soil of Bangladesh and then transferring it to other countries to secure their lives and wealth. They never think of paying something back to the country. The government should control this malpractice as early as possible.
