Zurich to Kualalampur

Recently the Swiss banking corporation published the names of countries mentioning the amount of money deposited in Swiss banks under code numbers. The practice of depositing ill gotten money or black money in the banks of Switzerland and offshore islands has been continuing for years and nobody could uncover the name and identity of the real owners as practised in Swiss banking corporations.

The Bangladesh bank was prompt enough to write to Swiss authorities in respect of recovering the laundered money, but it is probably absurd. When the government of India failed to recover the laundered money despite their best efforts, how can we expect to recover our money. On the other hand, several thousand Bangladeshis purchased apartments and real estates in Kualalampur and it is very much within the knowledge of  people. Should the government in the name of zero tolerance in all spheres not investigate these assets in Malaysia owned by Bangladeshis acquired through laundered money? It may not be difficult to identify our assets in Kualalumpur unlike Swiss bank!
