A chartered flight carrying 123 Malaysians evacuated from deadly violence in Bangladesh reached Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, Malaysia's home minister said.
The flight, which included 80 students among the passengers, landed safely at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told a press conference, according to Reuters.
Student-led protests against quotas in government jobs in Bangladesh spiralled into violence last week, with at least 147 people killed.
