KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak could be sent back to prison if he violates house arrest conditions, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
"If any breach occurs, the individual who violates the conditions will be immediately returned to Kajang Prison or any other prison designated by the Commissioner-General of Prisons," the Home Minister told the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Nov 12).
"All the details have been set out in the prison compliance instructions and procedures.
"The principle is clear. Conditions have been imposed, and if they are breached, the order will be immediately revoked, and the individual will be returned to prison," he added.
In a supplementary question, Ramkarpal Singh (PH-Bukit Gelugor) asked if Najib would be sent back to Kajang Prison if there is a breach of conditions.
Ramkarpal had asked if the conditions would be gazetted and made public so that any violations, such as conducting talks or holding meetings via Zoom, can be scrutinised.
On a related matter, Saifuddin said the Prisons Department had placed three officers per shift at Najib’s residence.
He said this does not incur additional costs, as it only involves deploying officers from Kajang Prison to Najib’s home.
