This is the Sungai Buluh Prison,about an hour from the city.I come here often to give Christian ceramahs.There a lots or people in here for various crimes.This is the only place on Planet Earth where I am treated like a hero.After the Bible teaching I am usually swarmed by these guys to autograph their Bibles!!(Something which I don't like doing.But I do sign,as I don't want anyone in here to feel rejected by me)
Today I am here to visit the Death Row prisoners.It is called Bilik Akhir.Just before they are hanged,I am one of the last persons to meet them.I spoke to three of them this morning.They will be hanged next week.I had a long talk with them,and they had some messages which they wanted me to pass on outside.Usually by this time,they are avoided by family,friends and relatives.Blurry eyes.I hugged them vey tightly and prayed for their souls before the Jail Wardens ushered them away.
Death Row is about 1/2 a Kilometer behind these walls.There are many iron gates and barbed wires within the compound.Cameras are not allowed in there.Strange as it may sound,over a period of 20 years,I have prepared many people for their last journey to the gallows and into the world of the departed spirits.
