Mat Sabu calls on NGOs to push for house arrest for all

Description

Amanah president Mohamad Sabu will be giving up his entire salary as a minister - but not his allowances - totalling RM11,900 to help fund CSOs so they can champion a fair house arrest mechanism that would benefit all convicts.

Specifically, he is recommending that convicts be allowed to serve half their prison sentence in jail before being transferred to house arrest.

He said that he merely wanted to ensure other convicts have fair access to such privilege.
