Public urged not to spread false claims over Zara Qairina case
KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been advised not to spread unverified claims or act as a judge in the case of the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said that through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), his ministry had detected false viral content related to the case. "Recently, we saw viral content accusing various parties of colluding in the case (of Zara's death). "That content strayed far from the truth. In fact, there was even an individual who claimed the late Zara had entered a washing machine, but that person has since apologised. "I advise the public not to get carried away and refrain from sharing unverified information. We must understand that the deceased's mother has cooperated with the authorities. "When the family has placed their trust in the authorities, we (the public) should give them space to carry out their duties," he said. He said this when met after the launch of the Federal Territories 2025 Children's Protection Advocacy Programme: Kasih Kanak-Kanak at the Kerinchi People's Housing Project (PPR) here today. Also present were Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri; Social Welfare Department director-general Datuk Che Murad Sayang Ramjan; and Kuala Lumpur JKM director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh. Fahmi, who is also the Lembah Pantai MP, said bullying was now defined as a crime following amendments to the Penal Code passed in Parliament. "Now, the police can investigate bullying under the amended Penal Code, which allows for appropriate punishment against offenders. "For our part, the MCMC has instructed the public to be vigilant and to be careful with all information received. "Do not act as a judge and make your own decisions because we have a legal system that must be followed," he said. Previously, it was reported that Zara Qairina, a Form One student at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha Limauan in Papar, was believed to have fallen from the third floor and was found unconscious in a drain near the hostel at 4am on July 16. The 13-year-old student was later confirmed dead after receiving treatment at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu.
