Girl, 11, dies after being ‘forced’ to run, Fadhlina orders stern action
Nur Qaira Alisha Ahmad Ilwan had heart issues and was allegedly forced to join the run despite her medical condition.
Education minister Fadhlina Sidek has ordered the Malaysian government's integrity unit to take immediate and stringent action following the death of 11-year-old Nur Qaira Alisha Ahmad Ilwan. The girl, who suffered from heart issues since infancy, allegedly died after being forced to participate in a run on April 15. Nur Qaira's family filed a complaint with the Kedah education department, alleging that she was coerced into joining the event despite a medical letter confirming her condition.
According to the family, the girl complained of feeling nauseous and appeared extremely exhausted after the run. She was admitted to the hospital on April 24 after vomiting repeatedly and developing a swollen eye. Nur Qaira has been in the hospital ever since, receiving respiratory support, and passed away yesterday.
