General : Nepal Floods: One Of 55 Missing Malaysians Confirmed Safe, Returns Home
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- One of the 55 Malaysians reported to have lost contact following floods and landslides in Nepal last August has been confirmed safe and has returned to Malaysia.
A Malaysian Chinese man, one of 55 individuals reported missing in Nepal following catastrophic floods and landslides, has been found safe and returned home after 37 days, according to Malaysia Solidarity: Families in Hope (MASFIH) spokesman Dr Manivannan Rethinam. The man, who was traveling alone, reached out to the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu on October 1, informing them of his whereabouts. He successfully returned to Malaysia this morning and was reunited with his family.
The man's disappearance became a cause for concern following the disaster, as travel and communication were disrupted in various parts of Nepal, leaving his family uncertain about his location. His return marks the first confirmed breakthrough in tracing the whereabouts of the missing Malaysians, providing a glimmer of hope in the ongoing recovery efforts. The development highlights the dedication of Malaysian authorities and diplomatic missions in assisting families affected by the calamity.
