57 Malaysians uncontactable after Nepal flash floods
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is tracing 57 nationals who remained uncontactable after flash floods hit Nepal’s Rasuwa district, with reports from their families, friends and employers being cross-checked with Nepalese authorities.
Malaysia is working to locate 57 Malaysians who have not been able to be contacted following flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district. The ministry has cross-checked reports from families, friends, and employers with Nepalese authorities. While 31 foreign nationals have been rescued, the ministry has not yet confirmed if any Malaysians were among them.
The floods hit Nepal on Wednesday, resulting in at least 389 deaths and nearly 1,000 people reported missing. Some Malaysians may have entered the affected areas from neighboring China and India. Family members of Malaysians in the region are asked to provide their details to the ministry, and Malaysians traveling in Nepal are advised to stay vigilant.
The ministry urges Malaysians to regularly update their contact information on the e-Konsular portal. The ministry's operations room in Putrajaya is working around the clock to coordinate information and assist Malaysians affected by the floods.
