  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Nepali workers in Malaysia are worried following devastating floods in parts of Nepal, according to news reports. Despite learning of the disaster, their families remain safe. Kul Bahadur Budathoki, a 43-year-old security guard from Kuala Lumpur, expressed shock upon seeing news of the floods. Many people had died and were missing, with footage showing destroyed cars near the China-Nepal border. Budathoki assured that his family was unaffected as his village is distant from the affected regions in the Himalayan area. Toplal Shrestha, a 45-year-old Nepali citizen, also shared his dismay after watching the news. Like Budathoki, he confirmed that his family members were safe and unharmed by the floods.",
