What was supposed to be a joyful celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary has instead become a period of uncertainty for one woman, who is still waiting for news about her husband after he went missing following the flood and landslide disaster in Nepal.

Senior Fire Officer Mohd Fakhrul Munir Mohd Isa, better known as Loe, is among 55 Malaysians who remain uncontactable after devastating floods struck the Nepal-Tibet border region.

In a heartbreaking Facebook post, Hani Othman shared a photo of the couple on their wedding day.

“Happy 10th wedding anniversary. 3.9.2016 to 3.9.2026. You should've come home today. You promised to bring back an anniversary gift. I'm so nervous thinking about what that gift could be this year.” she wrote.

Hani also listed the plans and dreams she and her husband had made together, including sitting for the Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) TVET examination on 6 September and completing a divemaster course in Pulau Tioman this October.

“You also have to take me to see Mount Rinjani in May. Then, in August, we've planned to go to Mount Kilimanjaro together. I've told you that we'll go through all the training together, and I'll accompany you to Everest. Your dream of reaching the summit of Everest hasn't been fulfilled yet. Please, where are you?”

It is understood that Hani travelled to Kathmandu on her own initiative to obtain updates on efforts to locate her husband and others who remain unaccounted for following the devastating disaster.

The group is also appealing for donations as it aims to provide aid to at least 1,000 victims.

“No contribution is too small. When many hands come together, even the heaviest burden becomes lighter,” said its president, Sunil Shukvir Singh.

Additionally, Mercy Malaysia president Datuk Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus said a small team of volunteers arrived safely in Kathmandu yesterday (2 September).
