DAP central executive committee member Syahredzan Johan has called on Home Minister Hamzah Zainuddin to address allegations that RM3.5 million had been allocated to manage Najib Abdul Razak while he is in Kajang Prison.

He claimed that this includes RM50,000 to renovate Najib's prison cell.

The “merpati” message alleged that the rest of the funds are to manage Najib's health and transportation needs.

Syahredzan said that under Budget 2022, only RM12.4 million had been allocated to renovate and upgrade prisons in the entire country.

Hence, he questioned how RM3.5 million could be allocated to maintain just one prisoner.
