Fadillah: Do not politicise Zara Qairina's death, let probe run its course
KUCHING: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has urged the public not to politicise the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir and to allow the authorities space to complete the investigation in a thorough and transparent manner. Fadillah said police were taking action, including forensic investigations and a review of earlier non-compliance. "As we all know, Bukit Aman (federal police) have taken over the case and the investigation is ongoing. "Forensics have conducted a post-mortem and follow-up action is being taken on the weaknesses previously identified," he said when met by reporters after the Madani Executive Discourse Programme at the Sarawak branch of Aminuddin Baki Institute here today. Fadillah, who is also Petra Jaya member of parliament, said this in response to the public outcry demanding justice through the Justice For Zara campaign. He added that the most important thing is to trust the nation's justice system to resolve the case fairly and equitably, without external pressure or sentiments that could disrupt the legal process. "Let us not take the opportunity to spread sentiments that could destabilise the nation," he said. He also warned that the spread of negative sentiments could not only jeopardise public harmony, but also erode confidence in the judiciary and police. He added that hasty accusations against any party without solid evidence could undermine the credibility of the justice process and have adverse effects on all parties. "It is best that we allow space for this investigation to be carried out transparently, and if injustice is indeed found, we have the legal channels and avenues to take the appropriate action. "Any proven weakness or negligence must be acted upon, and the people must be assured that the nation's system is capable of upholding justice when given the opportunity to do so," he said. He also urged the public not to turn the issue into a political tool to sow division, but to unite in demanding justice responsibly. "I believe authorities will examine this case seriously, and let the process take its course before the outcome is conveyed to the public once everything has been concluded," he said.

Educators Must Remain Committed To Nurturing Future Leaders
REGION - NORTHERN > NEWS JITRA, May 18 (Bernama) -- Educators must remain committed to nurturing a generation capable of assuming the nation's leadership roles, guided by the principles of local customs, racial identity and religious beliefs. Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said all parties, especially educators, must play their part in shaping students to achieve the highest levels of success and become great leaders, regardless of their modest backgrounds. 'I do not believe that anyone is born a leader. Instead, a leader must be shaped and nurtured, irrespective of their background. bootstrap slideshow 'I myself come from a village and my father was a rubber tapper, but I have become who I am today. When I speak of leadership, it is not just in politics but in all fields,' he said at the Bicara Eksekutif MADANI programme with educators at the Aminuddin Baki Institute here today. He added that educators were in the most suitable position to shape individuals who would become future leaders. Johari said that to become a good leader, an individual must possess ambition, courage and strong knowledge, as only education can propel them further. 'As Malaysians, we have every opportunity to succeed, and education is what enables us to rise to the top. Be responsible and set a good example, as students often follow in their teachers' footsteps,' he said. At the event, Johari also shared his story of the challenges he faced during his school days and how he succeeded thanks to the support and guidance of the great teachers in his life. 'I come from a poor family and used to help my mother sell kuih before going to school. However, I was fortunate to have great teachers who supported me all the way until I became the best student.
