Two Fire and Rescue dept officers among Malaysians uncontactable after Nepal flash floods

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Two Fire and Rescue Department officers are among the Malaysians who remain unreachable following flash floods in Rasuwa, Nepal. The officers, Mohd Sani Harul and Mohd Fakhrul Munir Mohd Isa, belong to the Planning and Research Division and the Central Region Academy, respectively. They were part of a group of 10 Malaysians who departed for Nepal on Monday night, heading towards Everest Base Camp.

According to JBPM director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad, the two individuals were traveling by jeep along the Tibet route, not for climbing purposes. Mohd Fakhrul Munir was previously involved in the 'Bomba de Everest Mencari Hati Emas' charity climbing expedition to Mount Everest in 2025. Wisma Putra issued a statement today, informing that families have been unable to reach more than 50 Malaysian travelers in Nepal following Wednesday's devastating floods. Hundreds of foreigners and Nepalese remain missing, as of now.
