KUALA LUMPUR: “All we could do was drop everything and run,” said Fadli Adilah, charge d’affairs at the Malaysian embassy in Kathmandu.
He was telling The Star what happened at the embassy when an earthquake hit Nepal at about 12.35pm (3.05pm Malaysian time) yesterday. The 7.3 magnitude quake was the second to hit the country in weeks; a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on April 25 caused massive damage and deaths in the thousands.
