PETALING JAYA, May 28 — Fadzil Zahari, the younger brother of Datuk Farid Kamil said that his brother looks calmer now as the actor and director carries out his jail sentence in Kajang Prison.

Fadzil, who is also an actor, recently accompanied his sister-in-law, Datin Diana Danielle, to visit his brother in jail and said that Farid appeared to have accepted his situation and come to terms with the magistrate’s court’s decision to imprison him.

“Diana and I went to visit Farid in Kajang Prison. He looks calmer now, he looked really sad before this but now I think he has come to terms with the court’s decision,” Fadzil told Malay language news portal mStar when met at a breaking of fast event in KLCC.

During the event, Fadzil expressed that he still hopes his older brother will be able to spend Hari Raya Aidilfitri with their family.
