A 42-year-old Bangladeshi expatriate worker has been killed in a road accident involving three motorcycles in the Pasir Gudang area of Johor, Malaysia. The victim, who worked as a sanitation worker, died after losing control of his motorcycle and entering the opposite lane, resulting in a multiple-vehicle collision.
