IPOH: Behind prison walls, death row inmate Pannir Selvam Pranthaman found a light that changed not only his life but the lives of many around him.

Through tears, his sister P. Sangkari, 41, said Pannir – who was executed in Singapore on Wednesday (Oct 8) – spent his years in confinement turning repentance into purpose, guiding fellow inmates, writing letters of hope, and founding NGO Sebaran Kasih to support those in need.
