Deputy Higher Education Minister Mustapha Sakmud has denied that his wife was involved in the tragic death of Form 1 student Zara Qairina Mahathir in Papar two weeks ago.

According to the Sepanggar MP, his wife, Rosnih Nasir, only served as the principal of SMKA Tun Datu Mustapha Limauan in Sabah between March and November last year before retiring.
