According to a report by NST, both Malaysian and Japanese immigration authorities have been notified of Hannani’s disappearance.

The campus also confirmed that she has yet to return to her dormitory after leaving Kure Kosen at around noon. Their attempts to contact her via LINE, Messenger, and WhatsApp have also not been successful thus far.

We have also checked her room and confirmed that she took her passport and wallet. We are now trying to contact other Malaysian students at Kosen.
