My prison experience was much tougher than Najib's, says Anwar


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) says his experience in prison included years in solitary confinement, and was quite different from what Datuk Seri Najib Razak is going through.

"I was in prison for (years) before being allowed treatment at the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital (CRH)," the Opposition leader said, referring to calls by Najib's supporters that the former prime minister was entitled to the same treatment while in prison as Anwar received.
