News of reprehensible activities of cross border human traffickers has begun to resurface. Last Tuesday, the state news agency of Malaysia, Bernama, reported that in a raid in Taman Sungai Puyu in Penang, the police force rescued 27 Bangladeshi men who were victims of human trafficking. 

The report also informs that three men, believed to be members of the trafficking syndicate, have also been apprehended. According to the local police, “The skinny and listless Bangladeshis aged between 20 and 40 were found in two houses that had been padlocked”.
