In a Facebook update, Anwar conveyed that the nation's thoughts accompany every family who has suffered the unimaginable loss of loved ones, and they extend their heartfelt wishes for the injured to make a rapid recovery. The Prime Minister also acknowledged the tireless efforts of emergency responders present at the scene. On behalf of Malaysia's government and populace, Anwar offered the deepest condolences to Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, his government, and the nation, as well as to the bereaved families.\n\nYesterday, reports indicated that the death toll from Wednesday's high-speed train collision in central Spain had surged above 64, surpassing the severity of a previous catastrophic rail accident near Adamuz in January. However, the Malaysian Embassy in Madrid has not yet received any official confirmation regarding the presence of Malaysians among those affected by the collision involving two high-speed trains.",
