A NURSE, who accused a Kuala Lumpur Hospital pathologist of giving false testimony in the inquest into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, has apologised for her “emotional” remarks.
Siti Shafikah, in a social media post over the weekend, said she had treated Adib after he was transferred to the National Heart Institute from Subang Jaya Medical Centre, and “knows the truth” about his death.
The post appeared to be in response to Dr Ahmad Hafizam Hasmi, who testified that the injuries Adib sustained in the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman temple riots last November were likely due to him being hit by a vehicle.

Siti Shafikah, who took the stand today as the inquest’s 25th witness, told coroner Rofiah Mohamad that she had been “overcome with emotion” and did not know the facts of the case when she published the post.
“I apologise. I was emotional and did not know the real facts of the case before making those comments.”
