PUTRAJAYA — Malaysia's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday that it remains unable to establish contact with 36 citizens in China and 55 in Nepal, prompting renewed appeals for information from the public.
The ministry has not provided details on the circumstances surrounding the missing Malaysians or the nature of their presence in the two countries. Officials have urged caution while diplomatic and consular teams pursue various channels to locate and verify the welfare of those unaccounted for.
The cases underscore longstanding challenges faced by regional governments in maintaining contact with nationals abroad, particularly during periods of crisis or disruption. Malaysia maintains active embassies and consulates in both China and Nepal that are assisting in the search efforts.
Authorities have encouraged Malaysians with information about any of the unaccounted individuals to come forward. The Foreign Ministry said it would provide further updates as the situation develops.
