Kota Kinabalu: Life behind bars does not pose a problem for two Kota Kinabalu Central Prison inmates in Sabah to continue their studies.
The desire to continue their studies never faded, despite realising they would spend almost their entire youth behind the iron curtains.Farhan , 32, who has been serving time at the pleasure of the Ruler since 2010 for a murder offence, said his decision to continue his studies was to make both his parents proud.
Farhan received his scroll from OUM Pro-Chancellor Tan Sri Azman Hashim at the event held at the Kuala Lumpur Putra World Trade Centre.He obtained 2As in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination, which he took while in prison in 2010 and in 2014 continued his studies at OUM, but stopped for a while in 2019 before resuming his studies in 2021.
“I am grateful to the Malaysian Prisons Department for allowing me to go back to study and even go to university,” said Farhan, who also holds a Malaysian Skills Certificate Level 2 specialising in tailoring. He attributed his success to encouragement from family members and friends in prison as well as teachers.
