Bangladeshi Men Live Along the Cemented Banks of Gombak River

360, a programme hosted by Mazidul Sidek was aired at 9.00pm yesterday focussing on this issues. I like to watch this reality programme which was brought live to you on your TV screen at the comfort of your sweet home.Literally, one will not get to see the actual scenes and stories behind. You really don't know and have no chance to know this unless reporters are hard at work for such poverty news. I think, more will go for the dirty political news rather than abdandoned human beings.

Salute you Mazidul Sidek. You are brave to settle rakyats' problem. Maybe, you should set up a bureau to help with salary better than your present one.

Kuala Lumpur, February 25, 2009: Bangladeshi men living under a bridge behind the Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur February 25, 2009. Hundreds of Bangladeshi workers have been living along the cemented banks of Gombak river, fleeing their employers who have delayed paying their wages. Many Bangladeshis say they have not been paid for up to nine months as the recession bites into Malaysia's construction, manufacturing and services industries.
