00:07representing five teenagers accused of bullying to participate as interested parties in the

00:12inquest into the death of Zahra Kairina Mahathir.

00:21application before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassa, who will preside over the inquest following

00:28the recusal of Coroner Azrina Aziz.

00:31The ruling came after Zahra Kairina's mother, Nuraida Lamat, and the Sabah Law Society challenged

00:38the earlier decision.

00:40Justice Sikodol said Coroner Azrina should not have admitted the teenagers' lawyers after

00:45stepping aside and ordered all previous inquest-related rulings to be set aside.

00:50He also dismissed objections by the deputy public prosecutor against SLS's participation.

00:57doctor Datuk Ram Singh, representing the teenagers, said they would submit a fresh application,

01:03noting that participation would allow them to cross-examine witnesses, including Zahra
