What seat was the student meant to occupy on the bus?

Question

Accepted Answer

The student was assigned seat number nine on the bus.

A Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) student, Nur Adilah Mohd Rusdi, narrowly avoided being on a chartered bus that was involved in a fatal accident on the Jeli-Gerik East West Highway. She was meant to occupy seat number nine on the bus, which departed from Masjid Hadhari, Jerteh, at 9 pm.
Missed Departure Due to Traffic

Nur Adilah’s father, Mohd Rusdi Ramli, was driving her to the bus pick-up point but was delayed by a traffic jam. Consequently, they arrived after the bus had already departed. Despite the driver’s offer to stop in Machang, which was deemed too far, Nur Adilah's father refused to send her there.
Alternative Travel Arrangements

Ultimately, Nur Adilah managed to travel to Kuala Lumpur by hitching a ride with her uncle, Mohd Nizam Husien, who was also heading to the capital. She left her home in Kampung Gong Bayor, Besut, around midnight with her uncle.
Notification of Accident and Relief

Nur Adilah attempted to contact her friends on the bus around 1 am without success. Later, around 2 am, a friend informed her about the accident. The family was further shocked when the police contacted Nur Adilah, listing her as a passenger, despite her not being on board. It was revealed that her assigned seat, number nine, was occupied by a friend. Another friend of Nur Adilah also missed the bus due to being admitted to Besut Hospital with a fever. Nur Adilah is now safe in Temerloh, though traumatised by the events.
