Nepali workers stranded in Malaysia

53 Nepali youths, who had reached Malaysia for employment, have been stranded there.

The Nepali workers, who have gone to Malaysia some 45 days ago, with job contracts from the Cosmo Care Consultant S/B Company of Am Pang, have been handed over to Malaysian labour agents and have been working under their command, it is reported.

The youths have been sent here by foreign employment agencies in Nepal.

Meanwhile, the stranded youths have filed a complaint in the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management in Kathmandu, through the Nepali Embassy and Nepal Migrant Workers' Association Branch, Malaysia, seeking help to reach home, said a victim Kamal Upreti.

They are now living in a pitiable environment in a hostel belonging to the Cosmo Care Consultant Company.
