  "summary": "Wisma Putra, Malaysia's Foreign Ministry, has launched a round-the-clock effort to trace 57 Malaysians uncontactable following devastating floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district. The ministry's Operations Room in Putrajaya is currently operating on a 24-hour basis to coordinate information and provide direct support to Malaysians in the affected areas and their families. The ministry is working with Nepalese authorities and agencies to verify information on those who remain uncontactable, as well as receiving reports from family members, friends, and employers. Malaysians in Nepal, particularly those in or near the affected areas, are urged to remain vigilant, prioritize their personal safety, and adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.",
