A MEDICAL appointment, religious activities and a counselling session were among four engagements undertaken by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during an eight-hour outing from his Jalan Langgak Duta residence yesterday.
The Malaysian Prisons Department said Najib was away from his residence from 10.25am to 6.25pm, clarifying that his movements involved several scheduled activities and were not limited to Friday prayers.
In a statement, the department said Najib first attended a medical appointment at Kuala Lumpur Hospital for follow-up treatment at the Orthopaedic Department.
He subsequently performed Friday prayers at Kajang Prison Mosque, attended a Quran study session conducted by an instructor from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), and underwent counselling with a psychology officer from Kajang Prison.
“After completing all the engagements, he was transported from Kajang Prison at 5.50pm and arrived at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta at 6.25pm.
“Every movement was carried out based on the prescribed engagements and requirements, subject to standard operating procedures (SOPs), house arrest conditions, and the control and supervision of the Malaysian Prisons Department,” it said.
The department said religious activities, medical treatment, rehabilitation and intervention programmes were important aspects of managing individuals serving prison sentences.
It added that all arrangements would continue to be carried out in an orderly and professional manner in compliance with prevailing regulations. - November 14, 2026
