Concern over delay in findings
Published on: Saturday, August 02, 2025 Published on: Sat, Aug 02, 2025 Text Size: Zulkarnain said it decided to formally support the family's next steps, including suing the school and any parties who may have been negligent or complicit in the events leading to Zara's death. Kota Kinabalu: The Malaysian People's Power Movement (G57) raised concerns over the slow pace of investigations into the death of Form One student Zara Qairina, who is believed to have been the victim of serious bullying at SMK Agama Tun Mustapha in Papar. G57 pledged to provide additional legal assistance to Zara's family, including legal advice and representation, to help them seek justice through proper channels. Its Chairman Datuk Zulkarnain Mahdar said the movement had initially withheld public comment to allow authorities time to carry out investigations, but said the lack of progress has now become a cause for concern. He said it received complaints and informal reports suggesting that the investigation may be facing interference due to the possible involvement of a child linked to a person of high social standing. 'If the investigation is being delayed or shielded because of someone's title or influence, that is unacceptable. Legal processes must be allowed to run without obstruction,' he said, Friday. Zulkarnain said it decided to formally support the family's next steps, including suing the school and any parties who may have been negligent or complicit in the events leading to Zara's death. He said pressure would continue to be placed on the authorities to ensure regular, transparent updates are provided to the family and the public. Zulkarnain said Zara's death reflects a wider pattern of safety concerns within school environments, particularly regarding how bullying is handled. He said institutions must be prepared to take responsibility when safeguards fail and urged the Ministry of Education to review how such cases are managed at both school and district levels. * 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?

Lawyers question probe into Zara's death, lack of post-mortem
Published on: Friday, August 01, 2025 Published on: Fri, Aug 01, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Noraidah Lamat, the mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir, has raised serious concerns over the investigation into Zara's death at her Papar school dormitory on July 17, highlighting the lack of a post-mortem and delays in police updates. 'Our client does not believe Zara took her own life. She believes there are criminal elements involved,' her counsel Hamid Ismail and Shahlan Jufri said in a statement. They revealed that Zara had confided in her mother about bullying by senior students, including one who allegedly said: "If I touch you, you'll bleed." The family claims to receive no updates from police between July 17 and 27. 'This silence worries our client. It gives the impression that the police did not investigate the death,' they added. Police only issued a short statement on July 28, and on July 31, it was disclosed that 60 individuals had been called in for questioning. On July 30, Noraidah filed a supplementary police report in Sipitang urging a thorough probe and revealed that school authorities had advised her not to lodge a report. The lawyers also questioned the claim that Zara fell from the third floor noting her face showed no injuries, bruises, or wounds typically associated with a fall from such height. Despite these circumstances, no post-mortem was conducted before Zara was buried. The lawyers have since written to the State Attorney General's Office, urging an inquest under Section 339(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code and requesting Zara's body be exhumed to determine the true cause of death. The firm also dismissed online allegations blaming the mother, calling them false and malicious. They urged the public not to spread defamatory claims and encouraged anyone with relevant information to come forward. * 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?
