  "summary": "Noraidah Lamat, the mother of late Zara Qairina Mahathir, has disputed the authenticity of several diary entries expressing hatred towards her, claiming that the handwriting does not match her daughter's. During questioning in the inquest into Zara Qairina's death, Noraidah stated that she had never seen her daughter write such entries and disagreed that the phrases \"Aku benci ibu\" (I hate mother) and \"tidak payah melahirkan aku\" (you didn't have to give birth to me) were reflective of Zara's feelings. Despite acknowledging that the entries used coarse language, Noraidah maintained that they were not written by her daughter, suggesting that they could have been authored by someone else. The inquest proceedings are set to resume on October 12.",
