Mother denies linking case to high-profile individuals
Published on: Sunday, August 03, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 03, 2025 Text Size: Noraidah Lamat Kuala Lumpur: The mother of Zara Qairina Mahathir, the student who died last month after reportedly falling at a boarding school in Papar, Sabah, has denied making any allegations linking her daughter's death to prominent individuals, according to a statement by her lawyers, as reported by Berita Harian. Zara Qairina, 14, was found critically injured beneath the dormitory building of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha at around 3am on July 16. She was pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. Preliminary findings suggested she had fallen from the third floor of the dormitory. Since the incident, speculation has swirled on social media — including unverified claims of bullying and attempts to associate the case with individuals linked to political figures. However, her lawyers, Hamid Ismail and Shahlan Jufri, said their client, Noraidah Lamat, had never issued any statement implicating anyone in connection with her daughter's death. 'Noraidah has never mentioned any high-profile individual in relation to Zara's death. 'Any such assumptions or allegations are baseless and did not come from her,' the lawyers said in a statement quoted by Berita Harian on Saturday. They also refuted viral claims that a student was shouted at with the words 'you're a murderer' on the day of the incident, and that three students had been transferred out of the school that same day. Noraidah, they said, only learned of these claims after they began circulating online. The case is still under police investigation. So far, statements have been recorded from 60 witnesses, including three individuals whose nicknames have been widely shared on social media, Berita Harian reported. Istana Seri Kinabalu has also issued a firm denial, refuting social media rumours linking the case to the family of Sabah Governor Tun Musa Aman. In the same statement, Noraidah's lawyers urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information or speculating further on the case. 'Spreading false or baseless claims can interfere with the police investigation and defame innocent parties. 'Any information that may assist the authorities should be directed to the police or to our office,' they said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Stop making negative comments: IGP
Published on: Sunday, August 03, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 03, 2025 Text Size: Regarding the bullying case involving the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir from Sipitang on July 17, Mohd Khalid said 60 witnesses comprising students, staff and teachers have been interviewed. KOTA KINABALU: Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail urged the public to stop making negative comments about the student bullying case in Papar that could cause unrest and touch on sensitive racial, religious and royalty (3R) issues. Speaking to the media after visiting Governor Tun Musa Aman, Mohd Khalid pointed out the need to give police adequate space to complete their investigation thoroughly. 'I appeal to all parties to allow police to continue their investigation. Negative comments and public perceptions linking this to 3R issues sometimes make it difficult for us to complete investigations. 'I urge related parties not to make negative comments that could create an unhealthy atmosphere or unrest by associating certain parties, politics, or the palace with this issue,' he said. Regarding the bullying case involving the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir from Sipitang on July 17, Mohd Khalid said 60 witnesses comprising students, staff and teachers have been interviewed. 'We have obtained substantial information and evidence. The investigation papers have been completed and submitted to the Criminal Investigation Department at Bukit Aman headquarters and will be brought to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action,' he said. The IGP said his visit to the Governor was aimed at discussing security and stability issues in Sabah, including domestic matters and international concerns involving territorial waters with the Philippines and claims by China. 'We are in a win-win situation, discussing matters properly to ensure everything can be resolved well,' he added. Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun accompanied him during the visit. This is Mohd Khalid's first official visit to Sabah since his appointment as IGP on June 23. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Fire near Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant contained: Russia
A fire that broke out near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant after Ukrainian shelling has been brought under control, the Russian-installed administration of the Russia-held plant in Ukraine said on Saturday. Russian forces seized the Zaporizhzhia plant in the first weeks of Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Both sides have accused each other of firing or taking other actions that could trigger a nuclear accident. The plant's administration said on Telegram that a civilian had been killed in the shelling, but that no plant employees or members of the emergency services had been injured. Reuters could not independently verify the Russian report. The station, Europe's biggest nuclear power plant, is not operating but still requires power to keep its nuclear fuel cool. The plant's Russia-installed management said radiation levels remained within normal levels and the situation was under control. - Reuters
