Under financial, emotional and mental pressure in the Covid-19 pandemic, nine Bangladeshis among more than 40 migrant workers have committed suicide in Malaysia since the movement control order (MCO) went into implementation on March 18.
 
According to the police, there have been at least 49 foreigners who committed suicide from March to October, the Malaysian online portal Malaysiakini reported.

Police said that 46 of the individuals are from countries that export labourers and mostly live in dormitories arranged by their employers. These dorms are often described as small and dirty spaces housing around eight people in a single room.
