Family members of 55 Malaysians who remain uncontactable following the devastating floods in Nepal arrived at Wisma Putra on Sunday for a closed-door briefing on the latest developments involving their loved ones.
The families began arriving at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) in Putrajaya to receive information directly from officials regarding the ongoing efforts to trace the Malaysians. The closed-door session was intended to ensure that family members received the latest verified information from the authorities amid growing concern over the situation in Nepal.
The Malaysians have remained uncontactable following severe flooding that affected parts of Nepal, where damage to telecommunications networks, roads and other infrastructure has complicated communication and access to several affected locations.
Malaysian authorities are continuing to coordinate with their counterparts in Nepal as efforts to determine the whereabouts and safety of the 55 Malaysians continue. Malaysia’s diplomatic representatives are also working with local authorities and relevant agencies to gather verified information from areas affected by the disaster.
The situation has left families anxiously awaiting further news, while Wisma Putra continues to provide updates and consular assistance. Authorities have stressed the importance of relying on confirmed information as search and rescue operations remain ongoing.
The government has assured the families that efforts to locate the Malaysians will continue, with relevant agencies maintaining close coordination as conditions on the ground develop. Further information is expected to be communicated to family members once it has been verified by the authorities.
