Ex-PM Najib mourns death of pet cat Kiky
"Kiky is no longer with us, guys," Najib wrote on Facebook, accompanied by several photos showing him cradling and playing with the white-and-orange feline.
The post has garnered more than 5,000 likes and reactions on the social media site, including from Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, with many offering their condolences.
"Thank You Allah for arranging for Kiky to be part of my life all this while. She was so sweet and affectionate.
"Every single day, she would wait by the door for me to come home from work. Rest now, Kiky," Najib added.
Kiky joined Najib's household in 2010 when he was still serving as prime minister and was one of four cats, the others being Leo, Tiger and Simba.
Since then, Kiky has captured the attention of many online as the cat appeared in many of the former prime minister's social media posts.
Najib is currently serving a six-year prison sentence after being convicted of misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.
The High Court had sentenced him to 12 years in prison with a fine of RM210 million, a verdict that was subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court.
However, his prison sentence was halved to six years and his fine reduced to RM50 million following his petition for a royal pardon in February last year.

PM says judicial appointments issue to be resolved soon — Hulu Langat MP
PUTRAJAYA: The issue concerning the appointments of the chief justice and the Court of Appeal president is expected to be resolved soon. Hulu Langat member of parliament Mohd Sany Hamzan, who attended a meeting between Pakatan Harapan members of parliament and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today, said the matter is likely to be settled soon, as the Conference of Rulers is scheduled to convene from tomorrow until Thursday. "The prime minister explained the appointment procedure in question. The matter involves the interests of the government and requires approval from the Conference of Rulers, as well as going through the procedures that have been set. "For example, in the issue of judicial appointments, it has to go through the Judicial Appointments Commission for deliberation, after which the names are submitted to the prime minister. "The prime minister then presents the names to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. "Subsequently, the King will consult the Conference of Rulers. Much of it revolves around that matter, giving us all a better understanding. "The prime minister also told us that the issue is expected to be resolved soon," he told reporters after the meeting. Sany said other issues that were also touched on during the meeting include the upcoming Dewan Rakyat session, which begins on July 21, the expanded Sales and Service Tax, and the electricity tariff. Last week, nine PKR MPs called for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate what they claimed were irregularities in the appointment of senior judges, including the Chief Justice. They also wanted the proceedings and inquiry to be conducted by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Human Rights, Elections and Institutional Reform, and for top government officials to testify.
