KUANTAN (Bernama): The Penor Prison sewing workshop here is racing against time to produce personal protecting equipment (PPE) for medical personnel treating Covid-19 patients.

For the past few days 18 inmates have been measuring, cutting and stitching the material to produce PPE from 9 am to 5 pm daily.

“Currently, the workshop continues its operations on Saturdays and Sundays due to the urgent need for PPE following an increase in the number of Covid-19 positive cases, ” he said when met by Bernama here Monday . Meanwhile, the workshop supervisor Sergeant Muhd ​​Mulyadi Abd Ghani said the inmates did not take long to understand the method of sewing the PPE as they had mastered the skills because they had previously received orders to produce uniforms.

One of the inmates, Man, 26, who was jailed for drug offences, said his job at the cutting section of the PPE project has given him the opportunity to contribute in a small way to the country in a difficult situation.
