Prisoners allowed to Skype family for Deepavali

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — The Malaysian Prisons Department has suspended social visits for Deepavali to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

In a statement today it said that prisons will instead make available Skype or a prepaid phone call for inmates to get in touch with family.

“This is a preventative measure to control the transmission of Covid-19 in prisons,” it said.

The public may get in touch with the relevant prison for more details.
