Government asks Bangladeshi workers to abide by Saudi laws

The Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment has again asked the Bangladeshi workers in Saudi Arabia to abide by local laws.
"Time and again we've appealed to all members of the Bangladesh community in Saudi Arabia to abide by local laws," said a ministry spokesman when his attention was drawn to a news item carried by the Saudi Gazette that Saudi police have caught "red-handed" three Bangladeshis with hundreds of forged passes to palaces of Saudi princes.
"Such allegations, if true, can threaten our good reputation. We're confident that all members of the Bangladeshi community will pay heed to our appeals, and the huge majority will not suffer for the faults of a few," he said.
The spokesman added that the Bangladesh mission in Saudi Arabia and the ministry in Bangladesh are taking all possible measures to motivate the Bangladesh community in this regard.
He said the flow of Bangladeshi workers to Saudi Arabia remains unchanged and the number of Bangladeshis in Saudi Arabia is more than any other expatriate community.
