Nepal quake: Malaysian Everest team postpone mission
PETALING JAYA: The Universiti Teknologi Malaysia mountaineering team in Nepal has decided to postpone their expedition to climb Mount Everest.
The landlocked country was slammed by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Sunday, with the official death toll now passing 4,000 killed.
In a recent Facebook update, mission leader Azim Afif said the team is undergoing an evacuation process to Kathmandu, slated to take place over the next few days.
“InsyaAllah, if there is an opportunity, the UTM flag will fly here another year. The climbers have not given up. This journey home is not a failure, but a mission that is not yet complete,” said the 27-year-old.

Bernama | Updated: April 28, 2015
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian sales executive, Loy Yun Qing would have lost her life under the rubble of a four-storey restaurant building in Kathmandu if she had not acted fast to exit the building during the massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on Saturday.
Loy, 29, escaped the jaws of death in a mere seconds before the restaurant collapsed during the quake that killed 3,218 people and left more than 6,500 injured, while thousands were made homeless in the worst earthquake to hit the country in 81 years.
She was having breakfast with a Chinese national and a male local tourist guide. They were preparing to travel 179 kilometres to Annapurna, a trekking destination.
“I was on the ground floor when suddenly we felt massive tremors. Everbody started screaming and running. I could hear the loud sounds of collapsing buildings nearby while I was running.
“Debris of small stones and glass fell from the sky and nearly hit me as I waded through a sea of panicking people running to a nearby open space,” she said when contacted by Bernama, on Monday.
She said as she turned her back she saw all the buldings in the area were destroyed in an instant.
She went back to the rubble of the restaurant and managed to recover her belongings and her pasport once the quake settled down.
Loy, who arrived in Nepal for her first trip on Friday (April 24), might have cheated death but her 48-hour ordeal is not over as she endeavours to return home.
It took her hours to arrive at the Tribhuvan international airport, Kathmandu. She said: “It was hard to get transportation to the airport because the locals were trying to escape from the city due to aftershock
tremors.”
Adding to her tension, she could not book a flight once she arrived at the airport because it was shut down and was only operational on the next day (Sunday).

Malaysian diplomat in Nepal recounts quake ordeal
NEW DELHI, April 25 — A Malaysian diplomat and four local staff at the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu spoke of their ordeal in weathering 7.9 magnitude earthquake tremors for two to three minutes.
Mohamad Amin Wagiman, 51, third secretary in charge of Immigration and Consular Services, who faced the ordeal, also confirmed that four other Malaysian employees and their family members were safe.
“I’ve weathered an earthquake two years ago here, but that time it was not as strong as today’s,” he said when contacted by Bernama.
When the temblor struck, he was working at the four-storey embassy building.
“Once the tremors stopped, my local staff and I rushed out of the building to the closest open space.
“Despite being in open space, we can still feel tremors from the aftershock,” he said.
Mohamad Amin also said that there were cracks on the embassy building but was not sure how severe the damage was.
