Car with Prisons Dept logo seen entering Najib’s Jalan Langgak Duta residence


KUALA LUMPUR: A car bearing the Prisons Department logo was seen entering former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s Jalan Langgak Duta residence here on Saturday (Sept 19) morning.

The vehicle, carrying at least four personnel, arrived at the residence at about 9.45am.

It is believed the personnel are from the Prisons Department and had arrived to conduct an assessment of the residence ahead of Najib’s release to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.

A mobile police beat van was also parked outside Najib's residence.
