Three decades of evidence point to four structural reforms that could cut Bangladesh's Malaysia migration costs by 50% — but the corridor's future hinges on one variable no policy framework can guarantee: political will.
Wang Kelian's jungle graves — 139 mass graves, ~130 dead Bangladeshis and Rohingyas — exposed the lethal cost of closing legal migration corridors. When Bangladesh's Malaysia labour route shut in 2009, trafficking syndicates filled the void.
