Focus on inquest, not speculation, says Sabah leader
KOTA KINABALU: The forthcoming inquest into the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir would be pivotal in uncovering the truth, said Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah secretary-general Razali Razi. He said that the focus should remain on the judicial process rather than speculation. "What matters is the inquest. Through the inquest, we will learn the real truth. It will clarify everything," he said after some 1,500 party members attended a tahlil and yasin prayer recital at Wisma Muis here. When asked whether the #JusticeForZara movement could impact the state or federal governments, Razali said both administrations were attentive to the needs and concerns of the people. He also said that Zara's case should not be politicised in the context of Sabah's upcoming state election. "We are not focusing on elections. What matters is what benefits society. Everyone is calling for justice, and we are here to contribute in whatever way we can, not only in terms of justice but also by supporting the wider community," he said. Also present at the event was Science, Technology and Innovation Minister and state religious affairs exco Datuk Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif. Zara, 13, was found unconscious at her school, SMKA Tun Mustapha in Papar, on 16 July and was pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth Hospital here. Her body was later exhumed for a post-mortem. An inquest is expected to be convened soon.

Justice will prevail in Zara Qairina case, says PM
LARUT: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed that those responsible for the death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir will be brought to justice, stressing that no individual involved will be allowed to escape accountability. In this regard, the Prime Minister advised certain parties not to manipulate the case in ways that create negative perceptions or resort to insulting specific individuals. "... the government has said the police are investigating, and I have made it clear that it doesn't matter who (is involved), they will be investigated,' he said when officiating the Madani Dairy Entrepreneurs Carnival themed "Driving Modern Agricultural Revolution, Generating People's Economy' at the Farm Fresh Perak Dairy Complex here on Saturday (Aug 16). Also present were Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. Meanwhile, Anwar said the government would continue efforts to protect the vulnerable, including fishermen and farmers. "That is why every Friday before prayers, I eat at small eateries, because I want to meet the people, I want to ask, is everything okay, do you have enough? "I don't want to wait until election campaigns to visit eateries … I do this every week,' he said. After the event, the Prime Minister also took time to inspect the construction of the new road from Kamunting to Anak Kurau, Larut Matang Selama (LMS) Phase Two, implemented under the Rural Roads Programme (JALB) of the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW). The project, approved in 2016 with a total cost of RM91mil, is being carried out by the Public Works Department (JKR) through conventional consultancy, involving the construction of a 6.6km-long new road. It is expected to benefit more than 5,000 residents in the surrounding areas and have a positive impact on agriculture and plantation enterprises along the route, besides improving accessibility and stimulating local economic growth. To date, the project, which is scheduled for full completion on Aug 15, 2026, has achieved 70.5 per cent progress compared to the original 62.6 per cent, ahead of schedule by 59 days.- Bernama
