Bring them all home, says daughter of missing Malaysian
Kritikaa Joyce de Brito says hopes are fading after nearly five days without contact with her mother, who was among 27 Malaysians who travelled to Mount Kailash, Tibet.
N Kalaiselvi, a 65-year-old woman from an elderly care facility, remains missing in Nepal after a flash flood and landslides struck Mount Kailash on Wednesday. Her daughter, Kritikaa Joyce de Brito, is urging the Malaysian government to ensure all missing Malaysians are returned home, regardless of their condition. The family acknowledges the Malaysian government's efforts to coordinate the search and rescue mission, but fears the odds of finding the missing Malaysians alive are slim due to the harsh conditions.
Kalaiselvi was among 27 Malaysians who traveled to Mount Kailash for religious ceremonies, organized by a local travel agency. All family members present at a closed-door briefing agreed that the ministry should directly communicate official updates and verified information to the next of kin to prevent speculation and the spread of false information.
As of now, 72 Malaysians in Darchen, China, are safe and receiving consular assistance, while 55 others remain uncontactable at the Nepal border.
