A MALAYSIAN student in Hiroshima, Japan, has been reported missing after failing to return to campus since Monday night.

According to the Malaysian Students’ Association in Japan (MSAJ), the 21-year-old Nurin Hannani Hafizi, a student at Kure Kosen, left campus carrying only a backpack, wallet, and passport.

“Kosen’s authorities have filed a police report regarding the disappearance,” said MSAJ on its official Facebook page.

MSAJ also said the Malaysian High Commission has also appealed for the public to spread the information on Nurin Hannani to help in the search, after receiving her family’s permission.

According to reports in Sinar Harian, her friend Mohd Hafizi, 21, said Nurin Hannani left the dormitory for class without informing anyone of her whereabouts.

Another friend mentioned that Nurin Hannani, from Taiping, Perak, is a quiet person who never hides problems from her family.

She is a first-year engineering student majoring in Urban Planning and Environmental Engineering, sponsored by the Public Services Department.

It is understood that her family is preparing to leave for Hiroshima, although the date is not yet known. - January 30, 2025
