  "summary": "The Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Smart) is preparing to return home from a humanitarian mission in Nepal, according to Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The team, which included 11 personnel and 12.4 tonnes of SAR equipment, arrived in Nepal on September 5 and is expected to depart for Malaysia today or tomorrow. Despite the team's successful completion of their mission, Nepal's authorities have not yet declared the search and rescue operations complete, as there are still 5,000 people unaccounted for. The Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu is working closely with the Nepalese government to obtain updates on the status of Malaysians reported missing in the tragedy and to assist next-of-kin with necessary documentation.",
