2 Bomba officers, 17 pilgrims among 55 Malaysians missing in Nepal
The two fire and rescue department officers were part of a group of 10 Malaysians travelling to the Everest Base Camp.
Flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district have left 55 Malaysians missing, including two fire and rescue department officers and 17 pilgrims heading to Tibet. The fire and rescue department director-general, Nor Hisham Mohammad, revealed that the missing officers were part of a 10-strong group traveling to the Everest Base Camp (EBC) by jeep, not for climbing.
Meanwhile, R Logadashini reported that four family members were among the 17 Malaysians traveling to Mount Kailash for a pilgrimage. The last contact with the group was at 10:33 AM Malaysian time, when they were 2km away from the Nepal-Tibet immigration checkpoint. Since then, all communication with the group has been lost, and no information has been received from the tour agency or the Malaysian embassy.
