The climbers, Muhammad Muhaimin Azhad Noor Hadi, 27, Muhammad Adib Haikal Awang Mansor, 27, and Muhammad Zaki Othman, 29, were last seen during a climbing expedition in the Langtang Valley. A friend of the climbers posted on the Threads app, urging the public to continue praying for their safe return. The trio's last message was received at 10:42 am (Malaysia time) on August 26, with their last known location in the Bhote Koshi area. Authorities have reported the climbers missing to both the Malaysian Embassy in Nepal and Wisma Putra, seeking assistance with rescue operations. The climbers' origins are from Gelugor, Penang; Kubang Semang, Bukit Mertajam; and Kulim, Kedah, respectively. Another user, myanaimah, requested prayers for Adib Haikal and his two companions. Wisma Putra recently hosted a briefing session with the victims' families, providing updates on the case. Family members have been informed that DNA testing may be necessary for identity verification, as unidentified remains have been discovered in the disaster zone.",
