A recent social media post has drawn attention to the Raya cookies made by inmates at Kajang Prison, which have completely sold out. The viral post, uploaded by a user on TikTok known as @Si Siti, highlights the overwhelming demand for these special cookies.
In the video, a prison officer is seen holding a notice announcing that the sale of Raya cookies at Kajang Prison has been temporarily suspended due to the need to restock. The cookies, which are produced as part of a rehabilitation program for inmates, have received significant public support, contributing to their rapid sales.
"Since I was heading back to Johor, I decided to stop by Kajang, but it's already sold out," wrote Siti in her post.
For those interested in purchasing these cookies in the future, updates will be available through official social media accounts, including FB Galeri Produk My Pride and TikTok galerivi (prison). These platforms provide information on the availability of prison-made products, allowing customers to support the initiative.
Many netizens have credited the viral success of these cookies to influencer Tun Laila, who has actively promoted inmate-made products. Thanks to her consistent support, the products have gained widespread attention, leading to high demand and quick sales.

"As Tun Laila said, if the Raya cookies sell well, the inmates get to enjoy better meals and everyone benefits. Hopefully, when they are released, they can start their own businesses and contribute to others," one netizen commented.
Scrolling through the comment section, many users expressed their happiness in seeing inmate-made products being well-received. Some even shared their emotions, imagining the joy the inmates must feel knowing that their efforts have been recognized and appreciated by the public.
This initiative not only provides inmates with an opportunity to learn valuable skills but also fosters a sense of purpose and motivation for their future reintegration into society. The overwhelming support from Malaysians reflects the community's willingness to help those looking for a second chance.
