Market Impact
PETALING JAYA, Aug 28 — A Malaysian family is anxiously awaiting news of a relative feared missing after devastating floods struck Nepal’s Trishuli area in Nuwakot district. The daughter-in-law of the missing man, identified as "Abah," shared updates on social media, stating the last contact was at 8:45am Malaysian time on Aug 27, when he mentioned having coffee.
The family, struggling to remain composed, expressed hope that Abah had not yet reached the border and was in a safer, elevated location. "Everyone is waiting for news about Abah. May he be healthy, safe and have everything made easier for him," she wrote. The floods, which have killed nearly 400 people in Nepal, have left many families in distress, including Malaysians with relatives in the affected region.
Details not yet available on the Malaysian government’s response or consular assistance for affected families. The missing man was traveling in a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle with eight others and one guide, clarifying they were not hikers or part of the Annapurna team. The group consisted of nine travelers in two jeeps.
Nepal police have released the names of missing individuals, including foreign nationals, though Abah’s name has not been confirmed. The floods, triggered by heavy monsoon rains near the Tibet border, have caused widespread destruction. Authorities continue search and rescue operations as the death toll rises.
