KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor rushed home from an official function to welcome the four children of a Malaysian couple who were under custody in Sweden.
When the children of Tourism Malaysia official Azizul Raheem Awalludin and teacher Shalwati Norshal stepped out of their car outside Najib’s house in Jalan Duta, the Prime Minister and Rosmah hugged the children and enquired on their health and well-being.
“As a father, I am concerned about the children’s well-being,” said Najib.
“I do not want them to be emotionally and psychologically affected by the situation that they were in after being placed in foster care after their parents were detained,” the Prime Minister said.
