Relocate consulate, urge residents

Groups of Bangladeshis can be seen at the newly opened back entrance of the high commission.

HUNDREDS of Bangladeshis throng one of the premium addresses in Kuala Lumpur every weekday as their consular office is located in the neighbourhood.

The high number of visitors to the Bangladesh High Commission in Jalan U-Thant, where it has occupied the Rajaratnam Apartment since 2012, has resulted in enterprising individuals setting up stalls selling food and drinks, and freelance petition writers offering their service from the back of their cars.
