Developed countries are sneakily sending e-waste to Malaysia

All 19 containers that attempted to smuggle this waste into the country were returned to their countries of origin, which included the United States, Spain, Australia, Belgium, and Japan. The Minister of Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, stated that this was part of a total of 59 containers seized by the Selangor Department of Environment (DOE) in cooperation with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM).
