Prisons Dept: Najib’s nearly eight-hour outing on Friday was not only for prayers, included hospital check-up and counselling

The Prisons Department revealed that Datuk Seri Najib Razak, currently under house arrest in Jalan Langgak Duta, engaged in more than just Friday prayers during his confinement. Between 10:25 am and 6:25 pm, Najib underwent a series of activities. He began with an orthopaedic follow-up check at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, then proceeded to perform Friday prayers at Kajang Prison. Following the prayers, he took part in Quran classes and had a counselling session with the prison's psychology officer.

Upon concluding these engagements, Najib exited the prison around 5:50 pm and made his way back to his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta by 6:25 pm. The department emphasized that all his movements were conducted according to established protocols, requirements, and house arrest conditions, under their supervision. They highlighted that aspects such as religious activities, healthcare treatment, rehabilitation programmes, and intervention initiatives receive full attention in managing an individual serving a sentence.
