KOTA KINABALU: State Assistant Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Fairuz Renddan has urged all authorities involved in the investigation into the late Zara Qairina Mahathir’s case to ensure it is conducted fairly and transparently.

Speaking after meeting Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun on Thursday, he expressed solidarity with Zara’s family, saying as a father himself, he empathised with the pain felt by her mother.

Fairuz stressed that justice must be upheld and called for continued unity and respectful support from the public throughout the investigation process.
