KUANTAN: A 15-year-old girl has gone missing after being dropped off at school yesterday, leaving her mother anxiously hoping for her safe return.
Form Three student Nik Nur Hidayah Nik Abdullah was dropped off at her secondary school here at 6.30am by her 49-year-old mother.
The mother returned to pick up her daughter at 2.30pm and waited outside the school gate for an hour with no sign of Nik Nur Hidayah.
Growing increasingly worried, she entered the school premises to search for her daughter.
