Bangladeshi man's body found in Sungai Muar near Gemas

A Bangladeshi worker's tearful farewell highlights the power of workplace kindness
ALL it takes is a little appreciation to make the world go round. Although employees are paid to do their work, we never forget they are humans with thoughts, emotions, ideals and dreams. And like they say, happy employees equal successful business. After all, the service we provide to our client is only as good as the people who operate it. That said, a restaurant owner takes this principle to heart in a heartwarming video as seen in a video on X. In the video, the owner of the restaurant could be seen trying to find fault with his Bangladeshi workers, Mamun. The initial conversation showed that the worker had did something wrong and they were not going to pay his salary. Indahnya pemandangan apabila manusia tahu memanusiakan sesama manusia.🫶 mesti dia pekerja yang baik. — ًِ (@bckupacc99) July 27, 2025 But the truth quickly revealed itself with a cake to celebrate Mamun, who was soon to leave. The video ended with Mamun hiding in a corner to cry, being touched by the act of kindness. Netizen @wiraEhsn who watched the video said Mamun wasn't crying, but he was. On the other hand, @adamapotek disagreed with their method, saying it was not right to keep someone in distress before celebrating. Separately, the United Nations Human Rights Council has raised serious concerns over the treatment of Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia. In a 2024 report, UN experts described the living conditions of many of these migrants, especially those who have been in the country for extended periods, as both unsustainable and lacking in basic dignity. The report highlighted that upon arriving in Malaysia, numerous Bangladeshi workers discovered that the jobs they were promised simply did not exist. As a result, many ended up overstaying their visas, putting them at risk of being arrested, detained, mistreated, or even deported. The UN also flagged the involvement of transnational criminal networks exploiting the recruitment process. These syndicates reportedly deceive workers with false job offers, charge excessively high recruitment fees, and often operate through fake or unlicensed companies, leaving many migrants trapped in cycles of debt and exploitation. Mamun's story had a happy ending, but for many others, unseen and unheard, they do not enjoy such fortune. —July 28, 2025 Main image: @bckupacc99 (X)

Malaysia turns away 99 foreign arrivals at KLIA after seven-hour border sweep
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) denied entry to 99 foreign arrivals at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 yesterday after they failed security screenings. The agency's corporate communications unit said that the arrivals were denied entry to the country as a result of detailed checks of over 400 individuals in a special seven-hour operation targeting high-risk flights. 'Those denied entry were all men, 80 Bangladeshi, 10 Indians and nine Pakistani. They were denied as they failed to meet immigration checks, including having suspicious reasons for visiting and travel records. 'They underwent further documentation processes before being deported to their countries of origin according to existing legal procedures,' the agency said in a statement today, adding that the checks involved background screening, checks on travel documents and individual interviews. AKPS also stressed that such enforcement measures would be stepped up periodically as a proactive strategy to tackle human trafficking and abuses of social visit passes. — Bernama
