(Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: The prisons department has clarified that former prime minister Najib Razak's eight-hour outing on Friday involved more than just attending prayers following media reports about his movements.
The department said in a statement late last night that Najib was outside his home from 10.25am to 6.25pm, during which he attended four scheduled activities.
These included a medical appointment at Kuala Lumpur Hospital for follow-up treatment at its orthopaedic department, Friday prayers at Kajang prison's mosque, a Quran study session with an ustaz from the Islamic development department, and a counselling session with a psychology officer from the prison.
