For him ‘there is light after darkness’
ABU DHABI – Nour El Islam Mohammad, a 47-year-old Bangladeshi worker, has been living in the UAE for seven years. However, the last year was very bad for him. “I will never forget last year because it was really the worst days in my lifetime,” he said.
He worked as a carpenter in a maintenance company in Abu Dhabi, but after six years of service the sponsor began delaying payment of wages and other dues such as the overtime.
“I lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Labour, but the sponsor did not bother. The MoL referred the complaint to the court. Then I had to spend more than six months without work. Whatever little savings I had, also got over soon,” Mohammad said.
Mohammad’s brothers and friends supported him during the last seven months. “I really suffered. When I fell sick I could not seek treatment because I had no healthcard,” he added.
During the amnesty period, the court has permitted me to seek transfer his sponsorship to another company. “I am so happy because there is light after the darkness. Thank you, amnesty,” Mohammad said with a sigh of relief.
