SHAH ALAM: A Bangladeshi boy was found in a container at a wharf at Westports in Port Klang on Tuesday.

Klang Selatan district police chief Cha Hoong Fong said the boy, believed to be from Chittagong, was found in a weak state by a worker at the wharf at about 9pm.

He was sent to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang and was reported to be in stable condition, he said in a statement today.
