  "summary": "The inquest into the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir heard testimony from her mother, Noraidah Lamat, who revealed her daughter had once tried to prevent her from confronting senior students at the school hostel due to fear of further bullying. Noraidah proposed a meeting with relevant school officials to address Zara's concerns but her daughter disagreed, fearing that the senior students would treat her even worse. Despite her daughter's previous reluctance to involve the administration, Noraidah continued to trust the school's reputation and religious nature, never imagining that such a serious incident resulting in her daughter's death could occur.",
