KUALA LUMPUR: Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil urged the public not to make the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir a populist cause. Fahmi was responding to public rallies and online calls for justice as National Day on Aug 31 approached. "Don't build a palace above a grave. Don't take advantage to popularise yourselves. We want justice and the law must take its course." He said Bukit Aman had taken over the probe and that it was investigating three officers over alleged procedural lapses during the initial investigation. Fahmi added that he wanted justice for Zara; Reserve Officers' Training Unit (Palapes) cadet Syamsul Haris Shamsudin, who died last month: and tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman, who died 12 years ago. He also said bullies could face legal action. The Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code were amended in Parliament in December last year, and the new provisions came into force last month, strengthening the scope for prosecution.
