Actress Nadia Kesuma, who was reported missing on 15 January, has been confirmed to have left Jeddah Airport in Saudi Arabia.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the confirmation was based on entry and exit records from the country’s Immigration Department, following search efforts by various parties, including the Malaysian Consulate in Saudi Arabia.

“She (Nadia) travelled to Saudi Arabia with an umrah tour operator, and records show that Nadia exited Jeddah Airport in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
“A police report will be lodged after 20 hours of search operations are carried out in accordance with standard operating procedures,” he added during a press conference held in conjunction with the UMNO General Assembly 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur World Trade Centre today (17 January).

It was previously reported that the mother of four could not be located after she failed to appear at the departure gate of King Abdulaziz International Airport for her connecting flight to London last Thursday.
Following the incident, the actress’s husband, Prof Muhammad Kamarul Kabilan Abdullah, 57, appealed to the government to mobilise diplomatic efforts with the Saudi Arabian authorities to speed up the search for his wife.
