Kongsi pengalaman penjara di kedai gunting rambut Tarikh kemaskini: 31/12/2019
Pahang
Oleh Siti Salwa Shaari
KUANTAN, 31 Dis -- "Abang duduk penjara?". Ini merupakan antara soalan paling kerap
diterima Ali setiap kali menggunting rambut pelanggan di Pusat Inkubator Usahawan My Pride
Jabatan Penjara Pahang di Sungai Isap di sini.
Ali, 38, yang sudah lali dengan pertanyaan itu tidak melenting, sebaliknya melihatnya sebagai
peluang untuk berkongsi pengalaman supaya kesilapan silamnya tidak diulangi individu lain,
terutamanya golongan muda.
"Bukan hanya budak-budak, malah orang dewasa juga sentiasa hendak tahu bagaimana kehidupan
di penjara... inilah peluang saya bercerita kerana banyak perkara yang kita akan terlepas bila sudah
ke penjara.
"Saya sendiri, akibat ganja kehilangan masa selama 10 tahun dan selalunya, orang paling ngeri
bila saya berkongsi pengalaman dirotan 10 kali selain kepayahan perlu berkongsi sel dengan
kumpulan individu tidak dikenali," katanya semasa ditemui Bernama di sini, hari ini.
Ali amat bersyukur kerana berpeluang mempelajari kemahiran menggunting rambut sejak Januari
2019 sebelum memohon untuk ditempatkan di Pusat Pemilihan Pemasyarakatan Kem Batu 10 di
sini, sebagai Orang Diselia (ODS).
Katanya kedai kecil dengan tiga kerusi berwarna hitam itu membolehkan dia merasai pengalaman
'orang biasa' walaupun tidak bebas sepenuhnya, selain membantu membina keyakinan untuk
berdepan masyarakat selepas bertahun-tahun berada di penjara.
"Saya suka apabila mendapat pelanggan yang suka berborak. Walaupun ada soalan sensitif, tetapi
itu realiti yang akan saya hadapi bila dibebaskan April depan. Status sebagai banduan memang
mengundang persepsi orang, apatah lagi jika mahu memohon kerja.
"Jadi kemahiran ini diharapkan boleh membantu saya mengusahakan perniagaan sendiri kerana
kakak sudah menyatakan kesanggupan mengeluarkan modal asalkan saya tekad untuk berubah,"
katanya yang bekerja sebagai pemandu lori sebelum ini.
Anak jati Selayang, Selangor itu juga mengakui walaupun sudah menjalani latihan selama enam

bulan, dia tetap gementar apabila kali pertama menerima 'pelanggan sebenar' dan
mengambil masa beberapa minit untuk menenangkan diri.
Imbasnya, semasa itu tangannya menggeletar sehingga perlu mengingatkan diri supaya tidak
membuat kesilapan selain kerap menoleh melihat reaksi pegawai penjara yang merupakan
pengajar untuk meminta panduan bagi memastikan 'setiap langkahnya' tepat.
Sementara itu, Wan, 29, yang menjalani hukuman penjara 12 tahun bermula 2013 kerana cubaan
bunuh juga menyifatkan keberadaannya di pusat inkubator itu sebagai 'medium tidak rasmi' untuk
berkongsi pengalaman dengan masyarakat.
Anak kelahiran Kuala Lumpur itu mengakui, dirinya lebih gemar diam untuk fokus pada tugasan
yang sedang dilakukan, namun tidak kisah jika ada pelanggan yang hendak mengajak berborak
sementara menunggu rambut mereka ‘siap’.
"Pesanan paling kerap saya beri ialah jangan sesekali lawan ibu ayah dan dengar nasihat mereka.
Mereka lebih tahu daripada kita walaupun ada masanya kita rasa nasihat itu tidak mengikut
kehendak kita. Selain itu, kita juga perlu berfikir semasak-masaknya sebelum membuat apa juga
tindakan," katanya.
Wan menambah saat paling seronok ialah apabila menerima ucapan terima kasih daripada
pelanggan atau melihat mereka tersenyum memeriksa rambut baharu yang secara automatik
membuat dirinya berasa puas dengan hasil kerjanya.
Pengarah Penjara Pahang Datuk Ab Basir Mohamad berkata kedai gunting yang mula beroperasi
pada Disember 2018 itu dalam satu-satu masa dikendalikan lima ODS yang dikawal oleh
kakitangan penjara, dan turut menyediakan perkhidmatan dobi dan urutan refleksologi untuk
lelaki.
"Bukan hanya kemahiran menggunting, ODS juga diberi pendedahan dalam urusan mengira
untung rugi dan cara mengendalikan perniagaan untuk bergelar usahawan kerana Tabung
Ekonomi Kumpulan Usaha Niaga (TEKUN Nasional) ada menyediakan bantuan kepada bekas
banduan.
"Kami berharap usaha ini dapat membantu mereka memulakan hidup baharu terutamanya dalam
bidang gunting rambut yang mana modal permulaan perniagaan tidak begitu besar jika
dibandingkan dengan perniagaan lain," katanya.
Ab Basir berkata bayaran di kedai gunting yang dibuka 9 pagi hingga 5 petang setiap hari kecuali
Jumaat itu juga lebih murah berbanding di tempat lain iaitu RM6 seorang selain turut terlibat
memberikan perkhidmatan gunting rambut percuma kepada pelajar sekolah bagi menghadapi sesi
persekolahan 2020.

Prisoner in China scribbles cry for help in Xmas card
for sale in London
Supermarket giant Tesco said Sunday it has
stopped production at a factory in China after
one of its Christmas cards was found to contain a

LONDON: Supermarket giant Tesco said
Sunday it has stopped production at a
factory in China after one of its Christmas
cards was found to contain a cry for help
from a prisoner who made it.
The Sunday Times newspaper reported that a London schoolgirl had opened a card last weekend
to find a message inside claiming to be from inmates at Shanghai’s Qingpu Prison.
“We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu Prison China,” said the message, in a Tesco
charity card featuring a kitten in a Santa hat.
“Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation.”
Tesco is Britain’s largest retailer and the world’s third-biggest supermarket chain with global
operations that include China, India and Ireland.
A spokeswoman said it was “shocked” at the revelation.
It had “immediately halted production at the factory where these cards are produced” and
withdrawn the cards from sale pending an investigation.
“We abhor the use of prison labour and would never allow it in our supply chain,” she said.
The company said the card involved was produced at Zheijiang Yunguang Printing, where an
independent audit was carried out as recently as Nov 2019.
“No evidence was found to suggest they had broken our rule banning the use of prison labour,”
the spokeswoman said, while no other complaints have been received.
“If evidence is found we will permanently de-list the supplier.”

The firm added that it had 35 full-time sourcing managers working across Asia,
who visited factories to ensure good working conditions.
According to media reports, it is not the first such case.
In 2017, a message in Chinese characters was found in a box of Christmas cards from retailer
Sainsbury’s in Essex, southeastern England.
When translated, it reportedly said: “Wishing you luck and happiness” and was signed “Third
Product Shop, Guangzhou Prison, No 6 District.”
In 2014, a woman in Northern Ireland found a note on a pair of trousers from low-cost shop
Primark saying: “We work 15 hours per day and the food we eat wouldn’t even be given to dogs
or pigs.”
After the latest note was found by 6-year-old Florence Widdicombe, her father admitted that he
initially thought it was a prank.
“On reflection, we realised it was actually potentially quite a serious thing, so I felt very
shocked,” Ben Widdicombe told reporters.
According to the Sunday Times, the message asked whoever received it to contact “Mr Peter
Humphrey.”
Ben Widdicombe searched for Humphrey online and discovered that he was a former journalist
who had spent nine months in Qingpu.
He got in touch and Humphrey contacted some other ex-prisoners, who confirmed that foreign
inmates had been packing cards for Tesco.
Humphrey, a fraud investigator who had previously worked for news agency Reuters, then wrote
up the story for The Times.
He and his wife Yu Yingzeng, a naturalised US citizen, ran an investigative firm hired by
pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which faced a bribery investigation in China.
They were charged in 2013 with illegally obtaining personal information, were convicted in Aug
2014 and deported the following year.
Charity Christmas cards are popular in Britain and multi-pack boxes can be bought from
supermarkets at low cost.
Tesco said it donates £300,000 a year to three health charities from its Christmas card sales. -

36 killed in Honduras prison clashes

TEGUCIGALPA: At least 36
people were killed in weekend
clashes in Honduran prisons as
the military and police try to
regain control after a spate of murders linked to the criminal gangs plaguing the country.
On Sunday afternoon, 18 gang members died in a clash between inmates at El Porvenir prison,
60 kilometers north of the capital Tegucigalpa.
“Firearms, knives and machetes” were used in the brawl, which also left 10 wounded,
Lieutenant Jose Coello, a spokesman for the National Inter-Institutional Security Force
(Fusina), told local media.
On Friday night, 18 prisoners died and 16 were wounded in a shooting at the prison in the port
town of Tela, northwest of the capital.
The killings came shortly after President Juan Orlando Hernandez – grappling with a wave of
prison killings – ordered the army and the police on Tuesday to take control of the country’s 27
prisons, which are badly overcrowded with some 21,000 inmates.
The security forces later said they were deploying about 1,200 military and police in 18 facilities
classified as “high risk.”
Hernandez announced the crackdown after the killings on Dec 14 of five members of the feared
MS-13 gang by a fellow detainee at the high-security prison in La Tolva, east of Tegucigalpa.
That came just a day after Pedro Idelfonso Armas, the warden of Honduras’s main high security
prison in Santa Barbara, El Pozo, was shot dead in the south of the country.

The security ministry had suspended Armas shortly before his death, amid an
investigation into his presence during the Oct 26 murder of Magdaleno Meza, a drug kingpin
whose confession and notebooks linked him to the president’s brother, Juan Antonio “Tony”
Hernandez.
Meza’s account books were used as evidence in the New York trial of Hernandez, who was
subsequently convicted on four counts of drug trafficking. He faces sentencing – possibly for life
– in January.
The president condemned the conviction of his younger brother, saying it was based on “the
testimony of confessed assassins.”
A video circulating on social media shows the 52-year-old Armas talking with Meza when prison
guards opened a locked gate, allowing a dozen inmates to burst in to stab and fatally shoot him.
In statements to the AFP, Meza’s lawyer, Carlos Chajtur, publicly accused the government of
having ordered his client to be killed in retaliation for having collaborated with US justice in the
trial against Hernandez.
On Sunday night military and police chiefs told the press that the wave of violence inside prisons
“is an escalation of the criminal world to try to prevent Fusina (...) from imposing the necessary
controls in the country’s penal centers.”
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Honduras
(OHCHR) said it observed “with alarm the violence inside prisons“, and urged the state “to
guarantee the life and respect of human rights to those deprived of liberty and proceed to a
prompt, effective and transparent investigation.”
Honduras is plagued by drug trafficking, gangs, poverty and corruption.
It suffers one of the highest murder rates in the world outside areas of armed conflict, having
registered 41.2 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2018.
To fight this scourge, Hernandez created a military police force financed by a new tax, and built
special prisons for gang members.
The sky-high crime rate has been a key factor behind a wave of migration toward the United
States, notably by minors who say they fear being forced into gangs. - AFP

Hong Kongers take to streets in support of Uighurs
Uighur detainees listening to a ‘deradicalization’ presentation at a reeducation camp, in a photo posted to the Xinjiang Judicial Administration’s WeChat account, Hotan Prefecture,
Xinjiang.
By AFP - December 22, 2019 @

HONG KONG: Hong Kong pro-
democracy protesters rallied in
solidarity with China’s Uighurs
on Sunday in a move likely to
infuriate Beijing as they likened their plight to that of the oppressed Muslim minority.
The rally was broken up when riot police swooped in after some protesters removed a Chinese
flag from a nearby government building.
China has faced international condemnation for rounding up an estimated one million Uighurs
and other mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in internment camps in the northwestern region of
Xinjiang.
The emergence of a huge surveillance and prison system that now blankets much of Xinjiang
has been watched closely in Hong Kong which has been convulsed by six months of huge and
sometimes violent protests against Beijing’s rule.
Pro-Uighur chants and flags have become commonplace in Hong Kong’s marches but Sunday’s
rally was the first to be specifically dedicated to Uighurs.
Around 1,000 people gathered in a square close to the city’s harbourfront listening to speeches
warning that the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown in Xinjiang could one day be replicated
in Hong Kong.
“We shall not forget those who share a common goal with us, our struggle for freedom and
democracy and the rage against the Chinese Communist Party,” one speaker shouted through
the loudspeaker to cheers from the crowd.
Many of those attending were waving the flag of “East Turkestan“, the term many Uighur
separatists use for Xinjiang, which has a white crescent moon on a blue background.
Others wore blue face masks with the East Turkestan flag on it.

China runs Hong Kong on a “one country, two systems” model which allows the
financial hub key freedoms that are denied people on the authoritarian mainland.
Come 2047 – 50 years after Britain handed the city back – the deal ends.
Many Hong Kongers fear an increasingly assertive China is already eroding those freedoms,
especially since Xi Jinping became president.
Many at Sunday’s rally said they felt a mainland style government is around the corner.
“The Chinese government are control freaks, they can’t stand any opinions they disagree with,”
Katherine, a protester in her late twenties and a civil servant, told AFP before police moved in.
“In Xinjiang they are doing what they are doing because they have the power to do so. When
they take over Hong Kong they will do the same,” she added.
China rolled out a sweeping crackdown on Uighurs and other Muslim minorities after a series
of deadly attacks by militants.
It bristles at any criticism of its policies in Xinjiang and warns against foreign criticism.
Beijing initially denied the existence of the Xinjiang camps, but now says they are “vocational
training centres” necessary to combat terrorism.
Few Muslim countries have openly criticised China given its huge economic clout.
But increasingly high profile figures are speaking out.
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, a German of Turkish origin, criticised China’s actions last week
and the Muslim community’s silence but has since come under a barrage of attacks from Beijing.

At least 18 prisoners dead in clash at Honduras jail

TEGUCIGALPA: At least 18
inmates died and 16 were
injured in overnight clashes
between prisoners in
Honduras after fighting erupted at a jail in the northern port town of Tela, prison officials said
Saturday.
The National Penitentiary Institute said 17 prisoners had died at the facility in Tela, about 120
miles (200 kilometers) from the capital Tegucigalpa, and another died in hospital, with local
media describing the unrest as gang violence.
A prison spokesperson, Digna Aguilar, said authorities had to enter the area carefully “for fear
of being among the victims” because several inmates carried firearms. That slowed the
investigation.
The combined national security force known as Fusina said that five 9 millimeter guns, as well
as ammunition, had been seized from the inmates.
Prison officials had originally reported only three deaths, but the toll quickly rose.

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, grappling with a recent wave of prison killings,
had ordered the army and the police on Tuesday to take full control of the country’s 27 prisons,
which are badly overcrowded with some 21,000 inmates.
But as of Friday, the military had yet to take complete control of the Tela detention center,
according to Aguilar.
On Saturday, top military officer General Tito Livio Moreno indicated that the military would
be deployed in 18 penal centers identified as “high risk.”
Hernandez announced the crackdown after the killings on December 14 of five members of
feared gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) by a fellow detainee at the high-security prison in La

TEGUCIGALPA: At least 18

rival gangs in a Honduran penitentiary on Friday, authorities said, in one of the worst recent
outbreaks of prison violence in the country.
Two days earlier, the government declared a state of emergency in the prison system, transferring
control to security forces in a bid to clamp down on a recent wave of violence.
However, speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior military official told Reuters that
security forces had not formally taken control of the prison in the northern port city of Tela,
before the violence there broke out.
So far the toll from the bloody prison fight was 18 dead, as well as 16 injured, Antonio Coello,
a spokesman for security agency FUSINA, told local television. Security forces have since
entered the penitentiary to restore order, authorities said.
Fights in Honduras’ overcrowded prisons are frequent as street gangs vie for control inside the

Prisons Dept: Azilah was never brought out of
prison to meet a VVIP
Prisons Department denies that Former police special action force (UTK) officer Azilah Hadri was taken out of Kajang prison to meet a VVIP. - NSTP/File pic
By Esther Landau - December
18, 2019 @ 3:34pm
KUALA LUMPUR: Former
police special action force (UTK)
officer Azilah Hadri has never
been taken out of Kajang prison.
This was confirmed by the Prisons Department in a statement issued today.
It said Azilah had not left the prison since April 15, 2015.
“The last time (Azilah) was taken out of Kajang prison was on April 15, 2015 when he attended
a trial at the Sepang magistrates’ court.
“Kajang prison officials escorted him for the trial after they received the order from the Sepang
magistrates’ court to produce him under Section 30 of the Prisons Act, which allows a prisoner
to attend court at the time and place stated.
“Based on records since the date (April 15, 2015), the accused was never allowed to leave the
prison for any matter.
“Records on meetings and visits also showed that the prisoner had received visits from his family
34 times and 15 times by his lawyer since last year,” it said, adding that allegations that Azilah
was brought out of the prison this year to meet a VVIP was not true.
It was reported that Azilah had allegedly been brought out from death row at Kajang Prison in
February to meet a VVIP.
The allegation was made by Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee
Abdullah.

Shafee told reporters that he believed there was a coordinated political

A few days ago, Azilah made public a statutory declaration (SD) claiming that Najib had ordered
him to kill the Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.
The SD by Azilah has gone viral. Azilah claimed that Najib, who was then the deputy prime
minister, told him that Altantuya was a foreign spy who was a threat to national security and
needed to be silenced.

THE year 2020 will see the continuation of efforts towards judicial reform pledged by the

Experts believed that while some of the reforms had yet to be realised, 2020 might prove to be a

“Some may ask whether these proposals are necessary,” he said.
“However, if we look at the results of the United Nations Development Programme Judicial
Integrity Self-Assessment Checklist, which was answered by participants from the judiciary and
mainly made up of High Court judges as set out in the International Framework on Court
Excellence Report 2018, the answer seems obvious as judges rated the judicial system with
relatively average scores in the areas listed.”
He said judges gave ratings of between 3.61 and 4.09 (out of 5) in specified areas, which included
whether there was a transparent process in the appointment to judicial office and promotion of
judges, complaints policy and a fair and expeditious system for investigation of complaints
against judges and court officers.
Nizam said the Committee on Institutional Reforms had also highlighted the issue of the
appointment of judges as being one of the areas requiring reform.
“So it was not surprising to find Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressing the view
in October last year that the appointment of judges and certain other positions would go through
Parliament before the names were submitted to the king.
“The government similarly recognises that there must be reform in the present system.”
He said at present, there appeared to be fixed notions as to what could be meted out in terms of
sentencing.
He said nowhere was this most acute than where the death sentence was concerned.
“More leeway should be given to the judiciary, even in matters involving certain serious crimes,
subject to a careful review in its implementation, and hopefully this will lead to a more just as
well as humane judicial system.”
He also agreed that some laws, namely the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012
(Sosma) and the National Security Council Act 2016, required reassessment.
“Granted, developments may not be going as fast as some quarters may desire, but perhaps we
still ought to look at all of this with some optimism as legislation that affects security most
certainly requires consultation with various stakeholders.
“What is most important is that we get there,” said Nizam.
Apart from the re-assessment of various laws, the sentencing policy, one of the elements in the
criminal justice system, was also under review.
The policy was being reviewed following the government’s decision to study the death penalty.
Human Right Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) commissioner Jerald Joseph said it had been
consistently advocating for the total abolition of the death penalty.
“Therefore, Suhakam would support the government’s decision to abolish the mandatory death
penalty and the moratorium on all executions enforced by the government since 2018 as a first
step to this end,” he said.

He said Suhakam also welcomed the government’s establishment of a nine-
member committee to study and make recommendations on appropriate punishment to replace
the death penalty and transitional measures for current death row prisoners.
Suhakam commissioner Datuk Mah Weng Kwai, a former judicial commissioner and High
Court judge, is a member of the review committee.
The committee, formed following a cabinet decision in August, held its first meeting on Sept 20,
with members also comprising former Federal Court judges, former Attorney-General’s
Chambers officers, former senior officers of the Prisons Department, as well as representatives
of the Bar Council, academics, criminologists, and civil society organisations.

China jails scientist who gene-edited babies

BEIJING: A Chinese court on Monday sentenced the doctor
who claimed to be behind the world’s first gene-edited babies
to three years in prison for illegal medical practice, state media
reported.
He Jiankui, who shocked the scientific community last year by announcing the birth of twins
whose genes had allegedly been altered to confer immunity to HIV, was also fined 3 million
yuan (US$430,000), Xinhua news agency said.
He was sentenced by a court in Shenzhen for “illegally carrying out the human embryo gene-
editing intended for reproduction“, Xinhua said.
The news agency said a third gene-edited baby was born as a result of He’s experiments, which
had not previously been confirmed.

The scientist announced in November last year that the world’s first gene-edited
babies – twin girls – had been born that same month after he altered their DNA to prevent them
from contracting HIV by deleting a certain gene under a technique known as CRISPR.
The claim shocked scientists worldwide, raising questions about bioethics and putting a spotlight
on China’s lax oversight of scientific research.
Amid the outcry, He was placed under police investigation, the government ordered a halt to his
research work and he was fired by his Chinese university.
Gene-editing for reproductive purposes is illegal in most countries. China’s health ministry
issued regulations in 2003 prohibiting gene-editing of human embryos, though the procedure is
allowed for “non-reproductive purposes.”--AFP

Menurutnya, hasil rompakan hanya sebanyak RM5,000, namun satu nyawa tidak bersalah
‘melayang’ begitu sahaja.
Menurut bapa empat cahaya mata itu, dia bernasib baik kerana tidak dikenakan hukuman gantung

hilang tanpa dikesan sehingga sekarang.
“Malah, MPT sentiasa mengalu-alukan tajaan mana-mana pihak yang ingin memperindahkan lagi

“ADAKAH kamu merasakan mereka boleh mengaku? Mereka menggantung diri sendiri,
sudah pasti mereka menafikan!” kata peguam, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah
berhubung jawapan Penjara Kajang berhubung isu membabitkan bekas pegawai Unit
Tindakhas (UTK), Azilah Hadri.
Dalam kenyataan beliau semalam, Muhammad Shafee mendakwa Azilah pernah dibawa
keluar dari Penjara Kajang untuk berjumpa dengan ‘VVIP’.
Apabila ditanya berhubung identiti ‘VVIP’ itu, Muhammad Shafee berkata, beliau tidak boleh
memberi nama mereka dan sedang berbuat sesuatu mengenainya.
Beliau, bagaimanapun, enggan mengulas lanjut dan terus berlalu meninggalkan wartawan.
Jabatan Penjara hari ini menafikan dakwaan Muhammad Shafee bahawa mereka
membenarkan Azilah dibawa keluar untuk bertemu ‘VVIP’ pada Februari lalu.
Dalam kenyataan media jabatan itu di Kuala Lumpur hari ini, Azilah tidak pernah dibawa
keluar dari Penjara Kajang sejak 15 April 2015.
Kali terakhir Azilah dibawa keluar adalah bagi urusan menghadiri perbicaraan di Mahkamah
Majistret Sepang.

Semalam, media melaporkan Muhammad Shafee yang mewakili Datuk Seri Najib Razak
mendakwa Azilah yang disabitkan membunuh wanita Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibuu
dibawa keluar dari Penjara Kajang untuk berjumpa seorang VVIP pada Februari lalu.
Muhammad Shafee mendakwa pertemuan itu berlaku di luar penjara dan dilihat sebagai
pelan terancang yang diatur untuk mengaitkan anak guamnya dengan pembunuhan
Altantuya.
Sebelum ini, Azilah membuat dakwaan mengejutkan melalui SD bertarikh 17 Disember lalu
mendakwa menerima arahan daripada Najib untuk membunuh Altantuya.
Pada 13 Januari 2015, Mahkamah Persekutuan menjatuhkan hukuman mati terhadap
Azilah dan seorang lagi anggota UTK, Sirul Azhar Umar selepas didapati bersalah
membunuh Altantuya.

Reconsider proposal for private prisons, lawyers tell govt V Anbalagan December 6, 2019 7:00 AM
KUALA LUMPUR: Several lawyers have cautioned against the proposal for private prisons in the
country, saying there are other ways to address the problem of overcrowding in government
correctional centres.
One of them, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, told FMT that any attempt to privatise prisons was
likely to fail.
He instead suggested improvements to the parole system, introduced in 2008, so that convicts could
leave prison ahead of schedule.
“The parole board must be more flexible in releasing prisoners on grounds of good behaviour if there
is support from family members,” he said.
Deputy Home Minister Azis Jamman recently said the government was prepared to look into the
proposal for private prisons in the interest of reducing overcrowding.
He said about 74,000 inmates are presently serving jail terms nationwide although the actual prison
capacity is closer to 52,000.
Given the country’s current financial pressures, he said it was perhaps time to consider establishing
private prisons as has been done in the UK.
However, Rafique said bail could also be considered for those who claim trial to the charges against
them.
“In this regard, the recent High Court ruling that bail can be offered to those charged with murder
and terror-related offences is most welcome,” he added.
He said the courts could impose any condition including for bailors to be family members and for
suspects to report to the nearest police station and surrender their passports pending the outcome
of their trial.
“The court can also order that those charged with serious crimes be fitted with electronic monitoring
devices to keep tabs on their movements,” he said.
Lawyer Salim Bashir said allegations of power abuse and corruption among prison authorities could
be reduced if fewer prisoners were kept in jail.
This would also reduce the government’s liability to negligence suits if inmates die while in custody,
he added.

On the matter of private prisons, he said he only knew of civil prisons outside the
country for those who commit contempt of court or fail to pay alimony to their spouses.
“The government should get the views of all stakeholders, including the Malaysian Bar, on the
concept of setting up private prisons,” he said.
Lawyer Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar meanwhile said Malaysian prisons are overcrowded
as many inmates are foreigners who had overstayed or run foul of drug laws.
“I suggest that the government expedite its prison reforms and find ways to reduce its annual budget
for food, medicine, staff and building maintenance,” he said.

Najib’s lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah claimed yesterday that “several
individuals” had visited Azilah in an attempt to persuade him to implicate the former prime
minister in the model’s death in 2006.
He said he had “very reliable information” that Azilah had met a “VVIP”, among others, outside
the prison after February.
But the Prison Department said the last time Azilah was brought out of prison was on April 15,
2015, for a court case at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court.
Based on its records, it said, Azilah was visited by his family 34 times and his lawyers 15 times
as of last year.
“Therefore, any claim that Azilah was brought out of the Kajang prison this year to meet VVIPs
is false.”
The former Special Action Unit commando recently filed a statutory declaration for the review of
his murder conviction.
He alleged that the order to kill Altantuya came from Najib, who was the deputy prime minister
at the time.
However, Najib rubbished Azilah’s claim, calling it a “complete fabrication by a desperate person
seeking to escape the gallows”.
Altantuya was murdered in October 2006 in the jungles in Puncak Alam near Shah Alam,
Selangor. She was shot in the head before her body was blown up with explosives.

Taiping commissions 12 huge murals NATION
Saturday, 28 Dec 2019
By IVAN LOH
TAIPING: The Taiping Municipal Council has commissioned 12 huge murals to be painted on
buildings in the town.
Council president Borhan Abdul Halim said the murals would have a historical or heritage theme,
with work on six of the paintings already having started.
“Our plan is to commemorate the historical events that have occurred since the town opened in
1874.
“We expect the six murals to be completed within the next three months. The murals will be
created and sponsored by private companies and does not involve any costs for the council,” he
said after receiving the Malaysia Book of Records certificate for “The Biggest Outdoor 3D Mural
Painting” at Jalan Abdul Jalil here yesterday.
The record-breaking grayscale mural painted on the wall of a shophouse, measures 14.6m high
and 27.4m tall and features Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean.
Borhan said discussions were also being held by the Taiping Prison and several private
firms to create another record-breaking mural.
“They are planning to paint the longest mural, spanning 670m on the outer walls of the prison. The
theme will commemorate Taiping-born athletes who have made the country proud, ” he said.
He said the athletes would include former national football coach Datuk M. Karathu, former
national sprinter Junaidah Aman and others.
“We hope it can begin next year, ” he said.
A previous version of this story stated that Amelia Earhart had stopped at the Tekah
Aerodome in Taiping on June 20,1937 to refuel during her historic journey. There is no
evidence of this.

Prime Minister’s Office denies Mahathir met Azilah NATION

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has never met former police commander Azilah Hadri
who is convicted for the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, the Office of the Prime Minister
(PMO) said.
“It was widely reported that Dr Mahathir shook his head and smiled when asked if he had met Azilah.
This question came at the tail end of a press conference following the launch of Bandar Malaysia in
Putrajaya (on Tuesday).
“There were also attempts to allude that Dr Mahathir was the VVIP who allegedly met with Azilah,
on death row at Kajang Prison, in February this year, ” the PMO said in a statement yesterday.
The PMO said Dr Mahathir also dismissed allegations that the government was behind Azilah’s
revelation of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s involvement in the murder of Altantuya as stated in his
(Azilah’s) recent statutory declaration (SD).
“As this involves the legal process, the government will leave the matter to the relevant authorities
to decide on the next course of action, ” the PMO said.
Meanwhile, the Prison Department said Azilah was in prison since April 15,2015.
In a statement, the department said Azilah was actually taken out of prison on the same date to
attend trial at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court.
“Azilah’s escort to the court was arranged after Kajang Prison received an order from the court to
bring him for the trial, ” it said.
Based on records, the department said Azilah had never left the prison nor was he taken out since
that day for any matter.
“Since last year, Azilah was visited 34 times by family members and 15 times by his lawyer.
“Thus, any report alleging that Azilah was taken out of prison to meet a VVIP this year is definitely
not true, ” the department said.
The statement came after Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah
claimed to have received information that a “VVIP” had paid a visit to Azilah, who is on death row.
The lawyer said Azilah’s review application on Tuesday to set aside his conviction and death
sentence was a “mischievous application”.
Shafee also alleged that hidden hands were behind the application.

Azilah wanted the Federal Court to review his 2015 conviction and death sentence for
killing Altantuya in October 2006.
On Tuesday, Shafee said “very reliable information” revealed that Azilah had met a VVIP outside the
prison in February.

The Prisons Department said that former commando on
death row, Azilah Hadri who was convicted for the murder of Altantuya Shaaribu has not left the Kajang Prison since 15 April 2015.
By Ainul Asniera Ahsan
KUALA LUMPUR – The Prisons Department said
that former commando on death row, Azilah Hadri
who was convicted for the murder of Altantuya
Shaaribu has not left the Kajang Prison since 15 April 2015.
“The last time Azilah Hadri was brought out of the Kajang Prison was on 15 April 2015 to
attend his trial at the Sepang Magistrate Court,” said the Prisons Department in a statement
today.
Therefore, it said, any statement from any individuals stating that Azilah was brought out
from the Kajang Prison this year to meet certain VVIP was untrue.
In its explanation, the Prisons Department said that Azilah’s escort to the court was
arranged after the Kajang Prison received an order from the court to bring him for the trial
in accordance with Section 30 of the Prisons Act.
Based on the record, Azilah had never been allowed to be taken out of prison for any reason.
It said, the visiting record also showed that the prisoner was visited 34 times by his family
members and 15 times by his lawyer at the Kajang Prison for the past year. –

Has the prison scandal of Abdullah Ang repeated itself? By Admin - 18th December 2019
By Syahril A. Kadir
Yesterday, renowned lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad
Shafee Abdullah expressed his shock on how a
convicted prisoner on death row could be given the
access to meet a VVIP outside the Kajang prison.
The prisoner he meant was none other than the
former Special Action Unit (UTK) officer, Azilah
Hadri who was sentenced to death by hanging after
he was found guilty for murdering Mongolian model,
Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.
Nevertheless, Shafee said that he could not verify the information but it was given to him
my a trusted source.
“The meeting between Azilah and the VVIP took place in early February this year. How could
a prisoner on death row go out of the prison to meet a VVIP? How could that happen?
“I definitely cannot verify this information but it was given to me by a trusted source. The
meeting was not in the prison but outside. When a prisoner is on death row, how could they
be brought out just like that?
“That is against the law and protocol. I am waiting for a formal confirmation at this moment,”
he told the journalists.
As a person with vast experience in the legal field, Shafee would not make the shocking
statement without any basis.
If it truly happened as alleged, it seemed like the ‘dark history of 1989’ may return to tarnish
the image of the country.
Here is the story.
On 19 August 1989, the Malay Mail made an exclusive daring revelation on how
businessman, Abdullah Ang had the Super VVIP treatment at the Kajang Prison.
https://malaysiagazette.com/en/https://malaysiagazette.com/en/category/slider/https://malaysiagazette.com/en/category/slider/https://malaysiagazette.com/en/author/huiboon/https://malaysiagazette.com/author/syahril/

His room was equipped with
refrigerator, carpet, video player and waterbed.
Abdullah could also enter and exit the Kajang
Prison as if he owned that place.
For the record, Abdullah Ang was the Chief
Executive of the Malaysian Overseas Investment
Corporation (MOIC) who had many friends
among the government leaders and senior
officers.
He had an eight years sentence and was fined
RM100,000 by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on
15 December 1986 (which was lightened after
mitigation plea). He pleaded guilty over the
charges on criminal breach of trust amounting
RM338,808.80.
Two years before his release date, Abdullah was
seen around Kuala Lumpur! He was wearing a t-
shirt and a pair of white pants. Upon getting the
information, the editor of Malay Mail sent the
journalist and photographer to track the
prisoner.
In its report, Abdullah was also seen at the
garment factory belonging to his family. There
were no warden or officer from the prison at sight
escorting him during his visit.
What happened truly stunned Malaysians as not
only a prisoner could walk freely into and outside the jail but his cell was equipped like a
hotel room.
However, Abdullah realised that he was being photographed and he covered his face
immediately with a towel.
When the case was brought to the prison, they claimed that Abdullah was involved in the
pre-release system where a prisoner is allowed to work outside the prison and prep them
for their release in the future.
However, according to Allahyarham Datuk Zainuddin Maidin in his article, Abdullah was
given the special treatment to travel between the Kajang prison and the capital to drink teh
Tarik, read newspapers and to manage his business in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.
Nevertheless, according to Zainuddin, despite his dishonesty, Abdullah Ang had an
extraordinary character. He could present himself as a person with the qualities needed in

business and trading. He could project himself well in all levels. He was not
shy. He was brave and he could be covetous if it is needed.
“That special personality enabled him to close to the officers in Kajang Prison which in turn,
gave him the special treatment to roam in and out of the prison to enjoy the air out there,”
he said.
It was not a surprise that the special treatment enjoyed by Abdullah was due to his influence
and good relationship with the top leaders in the country.
Abdullah Ang’s case also caused a reshuffle in the Prison Department, where the position of
the Director-General of Prison was given to a senior police officer then.
In Azilah’s case, it was impossible for him to gain such special treatment but having the
access to meet a
person outside
the prison was
truly something
special for a
convicted
prisoner on
death row.
As at the time of
writing, there is
no official
statement from
the authorities
on Shafee’s
allegation.
Honestly, we
hope that what
Shafee said was
not true. Generally, we see that the integrity of the Prison Department is still attached at
its highest level. Besides that, they have improved tremendously after the scandal involving
Abdullah Ang 30 years ago.
One case of Abdullah Ang is more than enough to ruin everything. -MalaysiaGazette

Prisons Dept rubbishes claim Azilah left Kajang prison to meet a VVIP theedgemarkets.com December 18, 2019 16:20 pm +08
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 18): Azilah
Hadri, the convicted murderer of
mongolian model and translator
Altantuya Shaariibuu, has not left the
Kajang Prison since April 2015,
according to the Prisons Department.
In a statement today, the department
said the former police special action
force (UTK) personnel never left the
prison in Kajang throughout this year,
and that the last time Azilah was taken out from the place was on April 15, 2015.
"The last time he (Azilah) was brought outside of Kajang Prison was on April 15, 2015, when
he had to attend a hearing at the Sepang Magistrates Court," the Prisons Department said.
Since then, Azilah has not left the prison's premises, the department stressed.
The death row inmate, meanwhile, has been visited by his family members 34 times since
a year ago, while his lawyer visited him 15 times.
"Consequently, any statements made by any parties alleging that Azilah Hadri had been
brought out of Kajang Prison this year to meet with a VVIP is not true," the department said.
Azilah, who has been sentenced to death for his role in Altantuya's murder, has filed a
statutory declaration (SD) claiming that it was former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak
who gave him the order to kill Altantuya.

The former chief inspector said Najib, who was deputy prime minister and
defence minister when Altantuya was killed in 2006, had met him and ordered him to "shoot
to kill", after telling him she was a "dangerous foreign spy".
The SD was filed to support his application — filed earlier this month — to seek a review of
his conviction and death sentence that was passed down by the Federal Court in 2015. He
is also seeking a retrial of the case.
Following the explosive allegation, Najib's chief legal counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee
Abdullah alleged Azilah had been brought out from the prison to meet with the VVIP in
February.
In making the claim on Tuesday, Shafee also alleged that the meeting was a breach of
prison protocol, and that the meeting was part of a political assassination plot against Najib,
who is currently being tried in court for corruption, money laundering and abuse of power
charges involving 1Malaysia Development Bhd and its former subsidiary, SRC International
Sdn Bhd.
Shafee also said Najib will file an application to intervene in Azilah's review application to
set aside his 2015 conviction for the murder of Altantuya.

oleh doktor malam tadi.
"Institusi ini menempatkan remaja berumur antara 15 dan 18 tahun yang telah disabitkan
atau ditahan reman atas kesalahan masing-masing," katanya.
Dalam pada itu, jurucakap terbabit berkata, pihaknya tidak akan bertolak ansur dengan
keganasan terhadap kakitangan penjara dan akan menghukum mereka yang terlibat.
Pada Oktober lalu, ketua pemeriksa penjara, Peter Clarke berkata, keselamatan di Feltham
telah menjunam ke tahap yang mengerikan sejak enam bulan lalu dengan peningkatan
keganasan selain tahanan yang bertindak membahayakan diri mereka sendiri. - Agensi.
