KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has appeared at the High Court here on Tuesday (Nov 10) to attend proceedings on the Attorney General’s Chambers’ (AGC) application to review the discharge order issued on Nov 6.
The former Pekan MP arrived at the court complex at 3.08pm escorted by Prisons Department officers.
Also present was his daughter, Nooryana Najwa.
Earlier, a sports utility vehicle (SUV) carrying Najib left the Kajang Prison complex at 2.40pm.
The grey vehicle was escorted by vehicles from the police and the Prisons Department.
Najib's lead defence counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said the vehicle was heading to the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex.
In a statement today, the AGC said it was seeking a fresh order consistent with the conditional pardon granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Sept 18, 2026.
The Nov 6 order allowed Najib to be released from prison upon payment of the RM50mil fine, with the remainder of his SRC International sentence to be served under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
However, the implementation of the house arrest arrangement was temporarily deferred pending further examination and clarification of the conditional pardon order and the implications of the High Court's discharge order.
The AGC had earlier said Najib would remain at his current place of detention during the deferment, subject to the powers and directives of the relevant authorities.
Najib was granted a conditional pardon which reduced his 12-year prison sentence in the SRC International case to six years and his RM210mil fine to RM50mil.
The pardon also provided for him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
However, the arrangement has been complicated by his separate 15-year prison sentence following his conviction in the 1MDB case.
The AGC has sought clarification on the legal implications of the orders, while maintaining that its actions were neither a defiance of nor a challenge to the royal pardon.
