Zara Qairina's mother rejects suggestion of suicide

Zara Qairina Mahathir's mother, Noraidah Lamat, testified in the Coroner's Court that she does not believe her daughter's death was a suicide. When asked by lawyer Datuk Ram Singh if Zara's death could have been a suicide, Noraidah firmly stated, "I do not believe so." She emphasized that neither the school nor the police had provided her with clear information to support such a conclusion.

Noraidah also mentioned that her daughter had not exhibited any signs of stress prior to her death, as she had remained cheerful and was still engaging in animated conversation on the phone. Despite Ram Singh's suggestion that Zara might have been under stress without showing it, Noraidah maintained that her daughter's behavior and personality had remained unchanged.
