Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on inmates exercising in cells
Prison and drug rehabilitation centre inmates can do stretching exercises but not vigorous exercises in their cells. This is to prevent tension and conflict with cellmates and to maintain good order and discipline, as some may claim to be exercising while actually sparring or teaching others how to fight. Inmates have at least an hour of recreational time per day on weekdays when they can do physical exercise or play ball games in the recreational yard. Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim said this in response to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8).
