‘Justice for Zara’ rally hijacked for political agendas, says LDP
PETALING JAYA:
Sabah’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has criticised businessman Albert Tei for making statements unrelated to the Zara Qairina Mahathir case during a recent rally in Kuala Lumpur to demand justice for the Form 1 student’s death.
LDP president Chin Su Phin said Tei, who is facing corruption charges in Sabah, seemingly tried to garner political sympathy and undermine the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-led Sabah government at last Friday’s gathering.
Chin also said PAS leaders such as Selangor PAS Youth chief Sukri Omar used the rally to voice political demands unrelated to Zara’s death.
“It is unacceptable for such platforms to be turned into political tools. Such behaviour is a disservice to the victim, the family, and society at large,” he said.
