The power of one case

AN unplanned visit to the Tanjung Ubi Muslim Cemetery drove home the gravity of the Zara Qairina Mahathir issue. Her grave, located in Kampung Mesapol, Sipitang, is about 130km south of Kota Kinabalu.

A group of people emerged from the newly arrived transport. From their murmurs, I gathered they were from Johor. They had travelled across the South China Sea to stand at the grave of a 13-year-old girl and pray (and take selfies).
