PORT KLANG: Malaysian Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin has been urged to ship back several tonnes of unwanted begpackers to the richer, more developed countries they came from.

“Malaysia, like many South East Asian countries has become a prime dumping ground for begpackers originating from first world nations such as Canada, USA, Australia, and Europe,” explained local generosity-funded travel analyst, Abdullah bin Bakar.

These young travelers on an Asian quest to find themselves, find themselves relying on the kindnesses of people who earn a lot less than these tourists would if they went home to their higher income nations and tried saving up for an overseas holiday.

“There’s a weakness in the nation’s entry checkpoints begpackers have exploited, which is, if you’re traveling, able – bodied, and white, Malaysian immigration officials often assume you’re not completely broke.”

This container of begpackers is being sent back from Westport Klang.

Like other illegal activities in Malaysia, once a begpacker operation is shut down, it will quickly start up again in a new location.
