BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Malaysia-centered narrative: the story measures the catastrophe by the number of its nationals unaccounted for, rather than the overall Nepalese toll.

« MORE than 50 Malaysians in Nepal remain uncontactable by their families following catastrophic floods that have killed more than 160 people and left hundreds of others, including foreign nationals, missing. »
thevibes.com ↗

Dominant diplomatic backing: the preferred source is the embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, over eyewitnesses on the ground.

« The Embassy is actively coordinating with local authorities and the search and rescue teams currently being deployed by the Nepalese government to locate the affected Malaysians and ascertain their safety »
malaymail.com ↗

Evolving tally: the official numbers of Malaysians unaccounted for changed within the same day, revealing information still taking shape.

« The Embassy of Malaysia in Kathmandu has received reports from travel agencies that they have lost contact with 11 Malaysian nationals believed to be in Nepal's Rasuwa district following massive floods. »
