Anwar, PH leaders must explain Najib house arrest, says Rafizi

Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Harapan leaders to explain the terms of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's conditional house arrest. According to The Vibes, Rafizi said Malaysians should be allowed to express their views on the development within the limits of the law. He added that Anwar and PH leaders owe it to the people to provide a proper explanation, particularly regarding the 1MDB scandal.

Najib was granted a conditional pardon by Malaysia's king, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison term for graft under house arrest, reported by Winnipeg Free Press and Channel News Asia. The conditional pardon came after the Pardons Board met on Friday, September 18. As part of the pardon, Najib must pay a fine of RM50 million and comply with stipulated conditions, or the pardon will be revoked.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Hannah Yeoh, denied signing any house arrest order involving Najib, which had been circulating on social media, according to Malay Mail. She stated that she had lodged a report with the authorities regarding the fake document.
