KOTA KINABALU: When businessman John Lam was approached by a friend to hire a man on parole from a prison sentence several years ago, he was shocked and scared.

“I was afraid and worried because that person is an inmate and is still serving his sentence although under parole,” he said at a career carnival of paroled prisoners and the state Prisons Department on Friday (Feb 10).
