Former prime minister Najib Razak has shared a poetic reflection as he marked his third year in prison, offering the public a glimpse into his life behind bars.
In his writing, Najib described his prison routine — from the faint sound of the morning call to prayer, to the cold cement floor cushioned only by a prayer mat, which has become the witness of his daily prayers and prostrations.
He likened the mat to a “faithful companion,” a source of solace in solitude and a place to pour out his pain.
“The wounds and scars in the heart, only Allah knows, only Allah understands,” he wrote.
Najib added that the prayers of his family and supporters remain his strength.
“Three years have passed… the prayers of my family, the prayers of all of you give me hope, they are my source of strength.”
He concluded with conviction that justice would one day prevail, though he did not specify when.
“Three years have passed… the prayer mat remains my companion. That moment will surely come. When…” he ended.
