Najib returns to Kajang Prison before serving house arrest


KAJANG: A vehicle carrying former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak re-entered Kajang Prison at 6.14pm on Tuesday (Nov 10), ahead of his transfer to his residence in Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, where he is to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.

The vehicle had earlier left the prison complex at 2.40pm for the Kuala Lumpur High Court before returning to Kajang for prison procedures.

Earlier, the Kuala Lumpur High Court allowed Najib to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest with immediate effect.

The decision followed an application by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to review an earlier release order issued on Nov 6.

High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin set aside the previous order and replaced it with a fresh one, allowing the former Umno president to serve the remainder of his reduced sentence at his residence in Langgak Duta.

The review was conducted to ensure the release order was consistent with the conditional pardon granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Sept 18.

Najib, 73, will remain under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, in accordance with the court order.
