KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has emphasised that there has been no attempt to close the case or cover up the investigation into the death of Form One student, Zara Qairina Mahathir.
He said all actions and investigations carried out were based on facts, reports, and proper applications.
Saifuddin Nasution stressed that allegations of manipulation were serious and did not reflect the authorities’ conduct from the outset.
“From the beginning, through the post-mortem process and subsequent investigations, there has been no attempt by authorities to close the case or cover it up. The commitment to justice must be grounded in evidence and the law.
“This case is a grave and serious matter involving the loss of 13-year-old Zara Qairina’s life…we must conduct the investigation professionally and transparently, with credible evidence, based on the provisions of law,” he said during the ministerial briefing after the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. – Bernama
