KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — Families of Malaysians reported missing in a landslide tragedy in Nepal have requested thorough briefings on search and rescue operations as authorities wind down recovery efforts in the Himalayan nation.
The relatives have expressed concern about the lack of detailed information regarding search operations and the circumstances surrounding the incident. They have appealed to Malaysian authorities to provide comprehensive updates on all recovery efforts undertaken and the findings to date.
The request comes as the Malaysian search and rescue team prepares to conclude its operations and return to Malaysia. The SMART (Search and Rescue Team) deployment represented a significant effort to locate missing nationals in the disaster zone.
Authorities have indicated they will organise formal briefing sessions with the affected families upon the team's return. These sessions are expected to address questions about the scope of operations, the challenges encountered, and any developments in locating the missing individuals.
The Malaysian government has expressed its commitment to supporting the families during this difficult period and ensuring they receive accurate information about all efforts made to assist their relatives caught in the Nepal incident.
