Unexpectedly, a 15-year-old Bangladeshi kid wound up 2,000 kilometers away in Malaysia after accidentally dozing off while playing hide and seek. The child decided to hide inside a shipping container while playing with his friends, according to the Daily Mail report. But because he was so exhausted, he dozed off and awoke six days later in a new nation. On January 11, he was confined inside the container and on January 17, the Malaysian port employees and local police discovered him inside, fully "exhausted and dehydrated.
According to media accounts, the child named Fahim is from Chittagong in Bangladesh and got into trouble while playing hide and seek with his friends. He was unintentionally imprisoned inside the container, which then sailed over 2,000 kilometres across the Indian Ocean with him in tow.
When a worker heard the boy's cries after the ship docked at the West Port, they alerted the authorities. At that point, the boy was located by the local health department, immigration office, and Marine Police Force. Although the police had initially suspected "kid trafficking" in the case, they later learned that there had been some confusion.
Authorities are seen rescuing the youngster from the container in a video of the entire incident that has been making rounds on social media. Authorities are seen around the container as the video plays after hearing loud knocking noises coming from inside. The youngster emerges from the room as soon as the door opens, looking bewildered. The youngster is seen being brought to the hospital in the footage.
