Families of 54 Malaysians still missing after a major disaster near the Nepal-China border might soon receive relief, as Nepal considers legal changes to expedite the issuance of death certificates. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan revealed that Nepal is examining amendments to its laws or introducing a special provision to bypass the usual three-year waiting period for death certificates.
The Malaysian Embassy and Nepalese ambassador recently discussed the matter, and Nepal is expected to table amendments in its Parliament soon. The delay has complicated financial matters for the families, as they struggle to deal with banks and insurance companies without the formal confirmation of their loved ones' status. Malaysia will continue working with Nepalese authorities to find a solution and support the affected families.
