Boy ends up 1,600 miles from home in another country after opting for shipping container in hide-and-seek game

New Delhi — Around the middle of this month, workers at Malaysia's Port Klang were surprised to hear knocking from inside one of the shipping containers that had just come off a ship from Bangladesh. When they opened it, they were even more surprised to see a young boy step out.

He couldn't speak the local language, so the port workers couldn't figure out who he was or how he ended up inside the container. They alerted law enforcement agencies, which immediately suspected it was a case of human trafficking.

"He was the only one found in the container. A police report was lodged and as he was having a fever, he was taken for medical examination," Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Malaysia's Home Minister, was quoted as saying by the country's national news agency Bernama.
