The father, Naim Awan, 46, said the meeting was to find an appropriate local university for his daughter, Nur Shakinah Naim, 19, to continue her studies in engineering.
“Allhamdulillah (Thank God), we have safely arrived with Nur Shakinah. Now she is temporarily staying at a relative’s house to give her space to calm her mind,” he told Bernama when contacted today.
Naim and his wife, Nor Halizah Ahmad, 43, arrived in Malaysia last Friday after nearly a week in Paris to meet Nur Shakinah and bring her back home.
Nur Shakinah, a JPA scholarship student at the Universitaire de Technologie (IUT), Rouen, France, was a former student of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Pekula Jaya, Tikam Batu, Sungai Petani.
It was reported that Nur Shakinah went missing on Sept 23 but was found safe on Sept 29.
It was reported that the disappearance of the student was due to stress over her studies.
Universiti Malaysia Perlis had previously announced its offer for Nur Shakinah to pursue her studies in engineering at the university.
Naim also urged all parties, including the media, to give space to his daughter to relax for a while.
