The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (KLN) has confirmed it is still unable to contact 91 Malaysian citizens – 55 in Nepal and 36 in China – as of 8 PM today. Their whereabouts and well-being remain a significant concern.

Wisma Putra, the ministry's headquarters, stated that it is working closely with relevant authorities in China and Nepal. The ministry is also cross-referencing information received from both countries to identify any potential overlaps in the reports of missing citizens. KLN urges the public to rely on official figures released by the ministry.

The ministry will continue to provide updates as contact is established with the uncontactable Malaysians or when further information is received from authorities and family members. KLN acknowledges the public's concern regarding the limited personal information available about those who cannot be reached.

In line with consular procedures, updates on individual cases are communicated directly to verified next-of-kin. Consular officers have contacted identified relatives to provide the latest developments. Personal details will not be released publicly without the consent of the immediate family. The welfare of these Malaysians and their families remains KLN's top priority, and the ministry's Operations Room in Putrajaya is functioning 24 hours a day to assist affected individuals and their families.
