KOTA KINABALU, Oct 10 — The mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir yesterday disputed the authenticity of several diary entries expressing hatred towards her, telling the Coroner's Court she had never seen her daughter write such things.
Noraidah Lamat, 46, said she disagreed that the entries must have been Zara Qairina's, since anyone could have written them.
During questioning by Inquest Conducting Officer Nahra Dollah on diary pages tendered as exhibits, Noraidah rejected the suggestion that entries bearing the phrase “Aku benci ibu” (I hate mother) reflected her daughter's feelings towards her.
“I disagree because I have never seen Zara Qairina's writing like this,” she said before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan yesterday in the inquest into the teenager's death.
