KUALA LUMPUR – Families are allowed to visit inmates at all prison institutions in Sabah and Sarawak on June 3 and 4, in conjunction with their respective harvest festivals.
The Prisons Department, in a statement, said that visiting hours are between 8.15am and 4.15pm.
“Visitors are required to have an RT-PCR or ARTK-Ag (swab/saliva) test result, which must be valid for three days after sample collection and be asymptomatic.
“Visitors are also required to bring a visiting card and identity card,” it said.
In addition, visitors are subject to the Prison Act and regulations, which may require prison authorities to conduct a physical search upon entry and exit of the prison.
Meanwhile, online meetings will be held for three days, from June 6 to 8.
“This is for families who cannot attend the face-to-face meetings,” read the statement. – Bernama, May 26, 2023
