Nga hopes ‘red heroes’ will be found safe soon

Minister Nga Kor Ming is optimistic that the two Malaysian fire and rescue officials missing since the flash floods in Nepal will soon be found safe. The housing and local government ministry is working diligently with Wisma Putra to locate the men, who remain uncontactable. These officials are among more than 50 Malaysians still unaccounted for after the devastating floods.

Nga Kor Ming urged all Malaysians to pray for the duo, referred to as 'red heroes', and expressed hope that they are safe and will be found soon. The ministry is in close contact with the families of the missing men. The two officials, Mohd Sani Harul and Mohd Fakhrul Munir Mohd Isa, were part of a group of 10 Malaysians who traveled to Nepal to Everest Base Camp on Monday. The floods struck two days later in Rasuwa district near the Tibet border.
