Bangladeshi boy rescued from container shipped to Malaysia

A 15-year-old boy has been rescued from a container, shipped to Malaysia’s Klang port from Chattogram port, the port authorities said on Wednesday, reports UNB.

SM Foysal Ahmed, assistant manager of Continental Traders, said the container was shipped from Chattogram port to Klang port in Malaysia on 12 January and reached its destination four days later.

Hearing screams coming from an empty container, the crew members of the ship unlocked it and rescued the boy.

Later, he was taken to a local hospital as the boy fell sick inside the container.

However, it is not clear whether the boy boarded the container from the depot in Chattogram port or elsewhere, he said.

Earlier, in October, 2022, police recovered a decomposed body of a young man from a container shipped to Malaysia’s Penang port from Chattogram.
