PETALING JAYA: Datin Hasnah Abdul Rahman experienced a parent’s worst nightmare when her autistic son Ahmad Ziqri Morshidi went missing.

The ordeal began at 11am yesterday when Ahmad Ziqri asked his mother for a ride on the MRT, as he had seen a video of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak boarding the newly-opened rail system.
