From factory worker in KL to garment firm owner in Kathmandu

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Two years of hard work in Malaysia was enough for Nepalese Krishna Timilsina to save RM23,000 (700,000 Nepalese rupees), a sum that has now catapulted him into a successful international garment exporter based in Kathmandu.

His company, Thread Garment, supplies clothes not only to Qatar and Dubai but also Malaysia where he had worked his fingers to the bone. In what he says as giving back to his country, he now employs 850 people in his branches.

“In 2008, I packed my bags and migrated overseas for work. I got a job at a factory in Malaysia, loading boxes full of surgical gloves onto shipping containers. It used to be so hot and humid inside the metal containers that I would be drenched in sweat.
