Last phone pings of 54 missing Malaysians traced to Nepal glacial flood site, foreign minister tells Parliament

The mobile phones of missing Malaysians in Nepal were last traced to the site of a deadly glacial tsunami, Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan confirmed.

Fifty-four Malaysians are presumed dead in the disaster, while Nepal traditionally waits years to issue death certificates in natural disasters.

Nepal has agreed to expedite death certificate processes to 45 days after Malaysia's request, aiding families in resolving related issues.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 — The last signals emitted from the mobile phones of the missing Malaysians in Nepal were traced directly to the location hit by a “glacial tsunami”, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan told the Dewan Rakyat.

Fifty-four Malaysians are among the more than 5,500 people still unaccounted for after a major glacial collapse caused a massive flash flood that buried settlements in the country’s northern mountainous region bordering Tibet, killing between 1,300 to 1,400 people.

“Where the tsunami (flash floods) path occurred, and the last pings we received, they were all at that location,” Mohamad said during Question Time.

All 54 are believed to be dead, but Putrajaya said the Nepalese government often waits for up to 12 years to issue missing or death certificates for natural disaster cases, which has prompted families of those missing to call for government intervention.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had requested an executive order from Nepal’s Prime Minister to shorten the waiting period for issuing death certificates in disaster cases, Mohamad told Parliament.

The Nepalese government agreed to issue an executive order reducing the process to 45 days, according to the minister.

“We are currently monitoring and reviewing the contents of the order,” Mohamad said, adding that the expedited time frame will help family members resolve administrative and legal matters following the tragedy.

外交部长穆罕默德·哈桑证实，在尼泊尔失踪的马来西亚公民的手机最后一次被追踪到是在一场致命的冰川海啸现场。

据推测，54 名马来西亚人在这场灾难中丧生，而尼泊尔历来会在自然灾害发生后等待数年才签发死亡证明。

应马来西亚的要求，尼泊尔同意将死亡证明办理时间缩短至 45 天，以帮助家属解决相关问题。

吉隆坡，10 月 22 日讯——外交部长拿督斯里莫哈末哈山在下议院表示，从在尼泊尔失踪的马来西亚公民的手机发出的最后信号直接追溯到“冰川海啸”袭击的地点。

在一次重大冰川崩塌引发大规模山洪，掩埋了该国北部与西藏接壤的山区居民点之后，仍有超过 5500 人下落不明，其中包括 54 名马来西亚人。这场山洪造成 1300 至 1400 人死亡。

“海啸（山洪）路径发生的地方，以及我们收到的最后信号，都指向那个位置，”穆罕默德在问答环节说道。

据信所有 54 人均已死亡，但布城表示，尼泊尔政府经常等待长达 12 年才为自然灾害案件签发失踪或死亡证明，这促使失踪者家属呼吁政府介入。

莫哈末告诉国会，马来西亚总理拿督斯里安瓦尔·易卜拉欣已请求尼泊尔总理颁布行政命令，缩短灾难案件中签发死亡证明的等待时间。

据部长称，尼泊尔政府同意发布行政命令，将审批流程缩短至 45 天。

“我们目前正在监测和审查该命令的内容，”穆罕默德说，并补充说，加快处理速度将有助于家属在悲剧发生后解决行政和法律问题。
