KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Government Teachers’ Union (KGKS) is urging the public not to join the gathering in front of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha, Limauan in Kinarut, or to boycott the school in question.
In making the appeal, KGKS President Mr Murkam bin Hj Hussein said that this is because the authorities, including the police and forensic experts, have carried out their responsibilities transparently, and all procedures have been followed.
Additionally, he said that the Ministry of Education Malaysia has provided full support for the investigation process in the interest of justice for Zara Qairina Mahathir.
Zara Qairina Mahathir, a Form 1 student at SMKA Tun Datu Mustapha Limauan in Sabah, was found unconscious near the school dormitory drain at 3 a.m. on July 16, and the victim was later confirmed dead at Queen Elizabeth Hospital 1.
Murkam emphasised that Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Datu Mustapha remains safe and there is nothing to worry about.
“School sessions are proceeding as usual, and this case is still under investigation, so let us all await the investigation results,” he stated in a statement today.
He hopes that all parties will remain calm in facing this challenging situation for the benefit of everyone involved.
“This protest is also feared to disrupt school sessions and put pressure on students and teachers,” he added
