KUALA LUMPUR: Some 270 Bangladeshi workers who paid over RM1.8mil to an agent in the hopes of securing valid working permits as part of the Immigration Department's rehiring programme are claiming they were duped.

One of the victims, Imran Haq Uzzal, said he and his countrymen had handed over their passports, other relevant documents as well as paid between RM7,200 and RM8,000 each to the agent but nothing came from it.
