PETALING JAYA: The disappearance of Malaysian student Nurin Hannani Hafizi in Kure Kosen, Hiroshima, was first noticed when she failed to contact her family, which she usually does.
According to her friend Mohd Hafizi, 21, Nurin Hannani left the dormitory for class without informing anyone of her whereabouts.
"Normally, Nurin Hannani would always inform her mother about what she was doing and when she was going out," he said, as quoted by Sinar Harian on Thursday (Jan 30).
"But on Monday (Jan 27), she left the dormitory to go to class, and there was no news from her."
Initially, her mother was not overly worried, but after failing to reach her, she contacted those responsible for looking after Hannani in Japan.
Nurin Hannani, a student at a higher education institute in Kure Kosen, Hiroshima, Japan, has been reported missing since Jan 27.
