[rhetoricfemme]

Please pray for the Malaysian orphans who went missing in a landslide that took out their orphanage on Saturday. Please pray for the families and community members, and for those assisting in the search for these children.

[quote]Two landslides, triggered Saturday by heavy rains, struck within seconds of each other near Hulu Langat, southeast of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, the Bernama news agency said.

Eight children, between the ages of 11 and 17, and a 22-year-old adult were pulled from the debris by rescue workers and villagers, who were still searching for dozens missing, the news agency said.

Rescuers also found the bodies of five children, between the ages of 11 and 14, Selangor Police Chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said at a news conference late Saturday.

Many of the orphanage's 49 male residents, including five adults, were outside setting up tents on the hillside for an outdoor event later in the day when the landslides struck at about 2:30 p.m., the police chief said.[/quote]
