KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 14 (Internet): Malaysia is to crack down on scores of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis - who a minister says look like Hindi film actors - who arrive on student visas to study English language but end up working illegally on construction sites or in restaurants.
Besides flouting visa rules, they cause "social problems", Home Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said, but did not elaborate what these "social problems" were.
"They have blue eyes and look like Hindi film actors and they create social problems here," Radzi was quoted by the local media as saying.
When told that Bangladesh had been replaced by Pakistan as a source country for foreign workers where the people had similar looks, Radzi said he anticipated "similar problems."
