Kuala lumpur: Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail will address the case regarding the death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir in Parliament on Monday. He stated that it is essential to clarify the issue, as members of the lower house of Parliament have widely raised the matter. "I have chosen Monday (to deliver the minister's statement) in Parliament on this issue," Saifuddin said to reporters after chairing the Main Committee for the Management of Foreigners in Sabah (JKPWAS-INDUK) 2022 meeting and the Sabah State Special Committee on Citizenship Status (JKKSK) meeting.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Zara Qairina was confirmed dead at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, on July 17. She was admitted to the hospital after being found unconscious in a drain near the dormitory of SMKA Tun Datu Mustapha, Papar, at 4 am on July 16. Yesterday, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar stated that the investigation into the death, initially classified as a sudden death, will now focus on potential criminal elements, including bullying. The Attorney General's Chambers will also conduct an inquest into the student's death after reviewing the investigation report submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police.

Meanwhile, regarding the case involving Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli's son, the home minister mentioned that the police would make every effort to track down the perpetrator of the incident. He emphasized that the matter is about the police's responsibility in ensuring public order, safety, and the protection of all citizens, especially children. "I leave it to the wisdom and swiftness of the police to handle this, and I pray that his son and wife recover quickly from the trauma," he said.

It was reported yesterday that former economy minister Rafizi's son was dragged out of their family car by two individuals dressed in black, with full-face helmets, and stabbed with a syringe at a shopping mall in Putrajaya at about 2 pm.
