Nepalese students stranded after falling for college’s promise


KUALA LUMPUR: Lured by the promise of working on cruise ships, a group of Nepalis spent thousands of ringgit to enrol in a local college but ended up being stranded here, earning pittance as interns.

Most of them feared being arrested as they did not even have their passports, which were supposedly sent to the Immigration Department for visa extensions.
