Kota Kinabalu: Noraidah Lamat told the Coroner’s Court she could not recall any Facebook posts by Marhamah Rosli that might have incited the public over the case involving her daughter, Zara Qairina Mahathir.
Testifying before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan, Noraidah said she initially knew Marhamah, currently Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs), through the social media platform when the latter chaired a non-governmental organisation.
Responding to counsel Joan Goh's request to clarify what constituted negative content, the witness explained she meant posts capable of inciting the public, though she remained unsure if Marhamah’s online activities caused the case to go viral.
Noraidah stressed that the public was already aware of the incident involving her daughter well before she became acquainted with the deputy minister.
She added that Marhamah visited her home about a week after the incident and assisted in securing the legal team she subsequently dealt with.
