Families of missing Malaysians seek access to operations centre in Nepal

Families of missing Malaysians in Nepal have demanded access to the National Security Council's operations centre there to facilitate two-way communication with authorities. Manivannan Rethinam, a spokesman for the Malaysia-Nepal Disaster Family Support Group, representing 49 of the 55 affected families, said the daily updates from the foreign ministry are inadequate after 17 days.

He emphasized that transparency, coordination, and information sharing are the key concerns. Since the sixth day of the disaster, there have been no significant updates on the status of the missing Malaysians, only confirming that three had cleared immigration on the Tibetan side. The families have been seeking a meeting with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim since the ninth day but have not received a reply yet.

Gunaraj George, a Sentosa assemblyman, urged the foreign minister to provide clear and specific updates to the families, emphasizing the need for direct and actionable information.
