Bangladeshi teen rescued in Port Klang dies from drowning back home

A Bangladeshi teenager repatriated from Malaysia after being found in a container at the Westport wharf in Port Klang on Jan 17 reportedly died at his home in Monoharganj, Comilla city, Bangladesh, on Saturday.

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said on Facebook yesterday that Md Ratul Islam Fahim, 16, was found drowned in a pond near his home after reportedly swimming alone.

"Just received the sad news, the youngster from Bangladesh who was rescued when he was trapped in a container in Port Klang has returned to the creator.

"May his soul rest in peace and be placed in heaven with the faithful, InsyaAllah," Saifuddin (above) said while expressing his condolences to the teenager’s family.

On Feb 21, the government sent the teenager back to his home country following the deportation process after being trapped in a container on board a ship for six days.
