Bangladeshis migrate abroad to relieve their families’ financial hardships and provide some happiness and peace to their loved ones. They work hard, sweat, and don’t care whether their bodies are good or bad. Their only goal in the diaspora is how to earn a little more. How to send some more money home.<\/p>\n
And so, they work an extra four to five hours beyond their regular eight-hour workday. They save money by eating as much as they can, not just eating. They send home a large portion of the salary they receive at the end of the month. An expatriate has been found in Malaysia. To save money, he eats only an onion and a green chili with rice.<\/p>\n
He sends all the money he saves to his family back home. A video of an informal interview of the expatriate has gone viral on social media. The 1 minute and 6 second video was published by a local media outlet on Wednesday (November 30). The video shows the expatriate eating rice with onions and green chillies for lunch. However, the name and address of the expatriate have not been known yet.<\/p>\n
In response to a question in the viral video, the expatriate says that he gets through the day by eating rice with onions and green chillies. And at night, he eats cucumbers. He does not eat fish and meat because it costs more money. Although he ate something good when he first came to Malaysia, he stopped eating fish and meat after considering the financial crisis of his family.<\/p>\n
With one bite of onion and one bite of green chillies, he also said that he earns 5,500 ringgit (Malaysian currency) every month. Which is more than 137,000 in Bangladeshi currency. He keeps only 300 ringgit from his income for his own expenses. He sends the rest to his family. That is, he sends remittances of about 130,000 taka in Bangladeshi currency every month.<\/p>\n
While eating, the expatriate further said that he has been working as a laborer in Malaysia for the past 19 years, leaving his family behind. And during this time, he has sent about 30 million taka back home. He also said that he has saved all the money in the country. Hearing his words, the interviewer became emotional. He said, “Seeing the hardship you are going through in Malaysia at such a young age to fulfill your duty to your parents, the children of every family in Bangladesh and Malaysia should learn.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
