Wisma Putra: Two Malaysians found safe after Nepal floods, 55 remain unreachable

Two Malaysians previously reported as untraceable after flash floods and landslides in Nepal have been located, while 55 others remain unreachable, according to the Malaysian Foreign Ministry. Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin stated that the two Malaysians have been confirmed safe, but their information and details are still undergoing verification to avoid duplication.

The remaining 55 individuals are being monitored closely by the Malaysian Embassy in Nepal and various Nepalese authorities, including the Nepalese Foreign Ministry’s emergency response team and the Nepal Tourism Board. The situation remains challenging due to damaged infrastructure and communication networks, making it difficult for search and rescue efforts to locate the unaccounted Malaysians.
