KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) has criticised Sabah Pas Commissioner Datuk Aliakbar Gulasan’s call for the public to wear black during National Day and Malaysia Day as a gesture of solidarity over the death of Zara Qairina.
In a statement issued after its leadership meeting today, Sabah AMK said the tragedy should be addressed with empathy and respect rather than turned into a political symbol through protest attire during national celebrations.
The movement stressed that National Day and Malaysia Day are sacred occasions to be marked with patriotism, gratitude, and love for the nation, serving as a unifying force for all Malaysians.
At the same time, AMK Sabah conveyed its sympathy and solidarity to Zara Qairina’s family, acknowledging the deep loss and reiterating the public’s desire for justice in the case.
The group also urged the public to exercise caution in sharing information online, noting that unverified claims on social media could cause confusion and disrupt the ongoing investigation.
Sabah AMK further called on all parties to allow the police to complete their investigation transparently and in accordance with the law, free from undue pressure or speculation.
The youth wing expressed confidence that the investigation will reach a fair outcome for Zara Qairina while encouraging Malaysians to uphold the spirit of patriotism during the upcoming national celebrations.
