PETALING JAYA: A large majority of light and first-time offenders who were freed early from jail under the Prisons Department’s Licensed Release of Prisoners (PBSL) programme have fared well as employees at various sectors nationwide.
Former Prisons Department deputy director of security and intelligence Anathurai Kalimuthu (pic) said that apart from being hired at plantations, factories and multinational companies, the PBSL candidates were also employed at smaller businesses such as car wash centres.
