Zara Qairina’s friend says they were close, but not BFF

KOTA KINABALU: A child witness, dubbed Student A, had des­cribed her relationship with the late Zara Qairina Mahathir as close but not “BFF” (best friends forever).

“She said they were not BFF. Not yet. Only close. It was a nice story from a child who could tell a story well. That is good,” counsel Datuk Ram Singh told reporters when asked for updates on the proceedings in the inquest into Zara Qairina’s death.
