KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Solidariti Malaysia's support group for victims' families in the Nepal flash flood tragedy, known as MASFIH, is urgently seeking certified Tamil-speaking counsellors to provide much-needed psychological support. Dr R. Manivannan, a representative of MASFIH, emphasized that most of the next of kin are elderly individuals who are more comfortable communicating in Tamil.
Although Wisma Putra and Mercy Malaysia have been offering free counselling services, language barriers persist as sessions are conducted in Malay and English, making third-party translators unsuitable. Manivannan welcomed the Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Smart) arriving in Nepal, stating that the team would provide accurate on-the-ground information, which could aid families in accessing support later.
