Fadhlina orders MOE integrity unit to probe case of Year Four pupil who died after sports event

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has ordered the Ministry of Education's Integrity Unit to investigate a complaint regarding a Year Four student, Nur Qaira Alisha Ahmad Ilwan, who tragically passed away following a sports event. The family's complaint alleged that a teacher instructed Nur Qaira to participate in a running event despite a medical letter from her doctor indicating her heart condition.

The Ministry stated that they take student safety and welfare very seriously and are currently providing support to the family during their loss. Nur Qaira, who had suffered from a heart condition since the age of three months, was exempt from school sports activities. She was admitted to the hospital on April 24 with severe vomiting and swelling around her eyes, later diagnosed with heart failure due to decompensated dilated cardiomyopathy.
