"We have found a Gore-Tex jacket containing 'Recco' belonging to Muhammad Hawari at Camp 2. The Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu has contacted the Nepal Police for help to trace Muhammad Hawari's iPhone," she was quoted as saying by Bernama.Mr Hawari’s family had earlier asked all Malaysians to pray for his safety, according to Bernama.

“We ask for the prayers of all Malaysians that Warie is found safe," said Ms Che Tom, referring to Mr Hawari. According to Bernama, the ministry said in a statement that this will be executed if the operation to bring down his remains from Camp 4 to Everest Base Camp goes as scheduled.
