Three Bangladeshi men have been arrested in Shah Alam, the capital of Malaysian state Selangor, for allegedly issuing and selling fake work permits to their fellow countrymen since last October.

Thousands of young Bangladeshis are trafficked to Malaysia through obscure private colleges and their unscrupulous “agents”.

Two Bangladeshi workers are buried alive when a landslide hit their living quarters in Malaysia’s Hulu Langat.

At least 17 Bangladeshis died in Malaysia’s immigration detention centres from various diseases and unknown causes in 2015 and 2016, according to the National Human Rights Commission of Malaysia.
