What kid doesn't love playing hide-and-seek? Answer: a student from Bangladesh. A boy named Fahim chose a shipping container as a hiding place and accidentally fell asleep while waiting for his friends to find him. And when I woke up, it was late. The container was closed.
As it turned out later, he was loaded onto the MV Integra and sent to Malaysia. The journey by sea took six days. Having overcome 1600 kilometers, the ship arrived in the Malaysian city of Klang. The child was discovered by port workers, who, while unloading the container, found a confused and emaciated boy inside. The teenager did not speak the local language, and the loaders could not get him to answer even one question: who was he, where did he come from, how and why did he get into the container.
The boy was exhausted and dehydrated, so he needed the help of doctors. According to the media, nothing threatens his life now, and the child is preparing to be sent home.
