Malaysian listed as ‘uncontactable’ after Nepal floods returns home safely, 54 still missing

A Malaysian previously reported as uncontactable following the natural disaster in Nepal has safely returned to Malaysia, as confirmed by the Foreign Ministry.

After verifying his identity at the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu, the individual returned and will undergo a health assessment.

The ministry continues to verify the status of 54 uncontactable Malaysians, while Nepal transitions from search-and-rescue to search-and-recovery efforts.

Despite the shift, Malaysia remains committed to establishing the status of its citizens through diplomatic channels.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 3 — A Malaysian previously reported as uncontactable following floods and landslides in Nepal has returned safely to Malaysia, the Foreign Ministry said today.

The ministry said the individual presented himself at the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu on October 1, where officials verified his identity and confirmed that he was safe, before he returned to Malaysia yesterday.

“Following his return, the relevant authorities in Malaysia will record a statement from the individual to complete the official record concerning his case,” it said in a statement.

“The individual will also undergo a health assessment,” it added.

The Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu is meanwhile carrying out further checks with Nepalese authorities and reviewing relevant records following the development.

“With his status now confirmed, the Ministry’s record stands at 54 Malaysians reported as uncontactable,” Wisma Putra said.

The ministry said it would continue verifying each case separately and would not disclose further details about the Malaysian who returned, citing his privacy.

It said Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority announced on September 30 that search-and-rescue operations had ended and transitioned to search-and-recovery efforts.

Wisma Putra stressed that the transition would not end Malaysia’s efforts to establish the status of the 54 Malaysians, with verification continuing through its embassies in Kathmandu and Beijing, relevant authorities and other official channels.

The Malaysians were reported uncontactable after devastating floods and debris flows struck Nepal and parts of neighbouring Tibet on August 26.

The disaster, linked to glacial ice and rock collapses in the upper catchment of Lhende Khola in Tibet, was reported to have killed more than 1,450 people, with thousands more unaccounted for.

此前有报道称，一名马来西亚公民在尼泊尔发生自然灾害后失联，但外交部已证实，该公民已安全返回马来西亚。

该男子在加德满都的马来西亚大使馆核实身份后返回，并将接受健康评估。

该部继续核实 54 名失联马来西亚人的身份，而尼泊尔则将搜救行动转为搜寻和遗体回收行动。

尽管情况发生了变化，马来西亚仍然致力于通过外交渠道确立其公民的地位。

布城，10月3日讯——外交部今天表示，此前报道称一名在尼泊尔发生洪水和山体滑坡后失联的马来西亚公民已安全返回马来西亚。

该部表示，此人于10月1日前往马来西亚驻加德满都大使馆自首，大使馆官员核实了他的身份并确认他安全无恙，之后他于昨日返回马来西亚。

声明中说：“他返回马来西亚后，有关当局将记录他的证词，以完成有关此案的官方记录。”

声明还补充说：“该人员还将接受健康评估。”

与此同时，马来西亚驻加德满都大使馆正在与尼泊尔当局进行进一步核实，并审查相关记录。

“随着他的身份得到确认，该部记录在案的失联马来西亚公民人数达到 54 人，”外交部表示。

该部门表示将继续逐案核实每个案例，并以保护回国马来西亚公民的隐私为由，不会透露更多细节。

报道称，尼泊尔国家减灾和管理署于9月30日宣布，搜救行动已经结束，并转为搜寻和恢复工作。

外交部强调，过渡期不会结束马来西亚为确定这 54 名马来西亚人的身份所做的努力，马来西亚将继续通过其驻加德满都和北京的大使馆、相关部门和其他官方渠道进行核实。

据报道，8月26日尼泊尔和邻近的西藏部分地区遭受毁灭性洪水和泥石流袭击后，马来西亚人与外界失去了联系。

据报道，这场灾难与西藏伦德河上游流域的冰川冰和岩石崩塌有关，已造成超过 1450 人死亡，另有数千人下落不明。
