The Sultan of Malaysia has conferred him the state honor title ‘Dato’ for his social and business contribution in the country.

He is none but Nidhir Saha, son of late Sudhir Chandra Saha, of Bangladesh. He was born in 1964 in Dakkhin Para of Savar, Dhaka.

After completing his school at Adhar Chandra High School in Savar in 1981, he got admitted in capital’s Graphics Arts Institute, Mohammadpur. After completing his courses there, he left for his dream country Malaysia with scholarship for higher studies. Malaysia was not so much developed then like now.

Nidhir, who came here for higher studies but now has built up a very big business establishment of his own. He has set up an international standard printing complex on 60 thousand square feet space styled as “BS Print Malaysia” (Cynrian Barhat) located at Kuala Lumpur’s Kuchai Lama.

Eighty local and foreign, including 30 Bangladeshis, are working in the printing press. Nepalese and Myanmar citizens are also working there.

Nidhir started his business with only 2,000 Ringgit saved from his scholarship money. The beginning was very tough. At the initial stage, he used to collect printing orders and got those printed in other’s press as a middle man. In 1991, he got the registration of ‘BS Print Malaysia’ press.

Thenceforth he did not look back. The present situation is that, this printing press controls the 45-50 percent of the total publication work of Malaysia. He gets regular printing orders from USA, UK, and Singapore and even from Australia.

At his printing press office, he told banglanews, ‘I never thought to do job. As a son of a Saha family, I have inherited the legacy of business in my blood. My first objective was not to be employed but to give employment to others.’

He went on saying, ‘It is my pleasure that here in my press printing is done in the most modern machines of the world. In printing sector my press is the first to get ISO certificate in Malaysia.’

In 2013, he was conferred the honorable title of ‘Dato’ from the Sultan of Pahang kingdom.

He is actively involved with various social activities. He is active with Rotary Club of Putrajaya for a long time. He wants to do something for people but from behind.

Nidhir Saha has built a different image in that country where thousands of illegal Bangladeshis are roaming on the roads for jobs and food leading a sub-human life. He is also liked by the expatriates as he stands beside them on different needs.

He wants to employ more Bangladeshis because they are very laborious. The modern Malaysia bears the contributions of millions of Bangladeshi workers.

He wants that the expatriate Bangladeshis remain united. It will bring their welfare and prosperity, Dato N Saha added.
