IPOH: There will be a panel to evaluate the types of prisoners who will be allowed home detention, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Denying claims that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would be given home detention, Saifuddin Nasution gave his assurance that the panel would look into the severity of the cases committed by the prisoners before allowing them to do so.
