The government is not giving up yet on the efforts to find 54 Malaysians who are still missing following the massive floods and landslides in Nepal last August.  

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan says our embassy in Kathmandu remains in contact with local authorities on the matter.  

This, after Nepal ended its search and rescue operations, and moved into the recovery phase.  

He also says the govt is still waiting for Nepal's proposal to speed up the issuance of death certificates for those who are still missing.  

This will help the victims next-of-kin to handle matters such as insurance claims, bank accounts, and other legal affairs.
