KUALA LUMPUR - Police launched a major manhunt on Tuesday after 109 inmates mainly from Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Iran, Thailand and Nigeria escaped from the Lenggeng immigration depot in Negeri Sembilan state, south of the capital Kuala Lumpur by burning down an accommodation block before fleeing.
Over 200 policemen, immigration officials and paramilitary volunteers are combing central Negeri Sembilan following the breakout. District police chief Saiful Azly told AFP 58 inmates were arrested after being found in a nearby forest.
'Investigations showed that they were dissatisfied over cramped living conditions, the food and long detention periods,' Abdul Manan Mohamad Hassan, state deputy police chief, was quoted as saying by the official Bernama news agency.
