The decision comes after an initial probe and is described as an early intervention measure. The case has been forwarded to the education ministry's integrity unit for further action. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has emphasized that the integrity unit will take immediate and serious action following the incident, with the Kedah department conducting the investigation in response to a complaint from Qaira's family.
The family alleges that the girl, who had been battling heart problems since birth, was made to join the run despite a medical certificate confirming her condition. Qaira reportedly complained of nausea and exhaustion after the run and was admitted to a hospital on April 24 due to repeated vomiting and swelling around her eye. She was subsequently placed on respiratory support before passing away the following Wednesday.
