The number of Nepali workers going to Malaysia has increased in the recent years due to the recovery from global recession and the removal of levy.

According to the Nepali embassy at Kuala Lumpur, road accidents, chronic disease, workplace and even suicide cases has been identified as the cause for deaths.
