The tragic death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir, which has raised serious public concern and speculation regarding the possibility of prolonged bullying, has shocked the nation. While the full facts are still under investigation, this is undeniably a horrifying incident within a school environment and a stark reflection of potential severe breakdowns in our nation's education system, law enforcement mechanisms and moral safeguards.

This tragedy is not merely the sorrow of one family – it has become a matter of national attention. It serves as a reminder that school safety is not an isolated educational issue but one deeply intertwined with judicial justice, social governance and the core values of the nation.
