Hannah Yeoh denies signing Najib house arrest order, calls document fake

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Hannah Yeoh, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), has vehemently denied signing any house arrest order for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, a claim that has been spreading across social media platforms. In a tweet on her X account early this morning, Yeoh explicitly stated, "I have never signed any house arrest order as claimed in the document."

She further clarified that the Pardons Board had not yet convened when the document surfaced, urging the public not to circulate this "fake document." Yeoh also shared a screenshot as proof of the report she lodged with the relevant authorities. The document, purporting to be an official house arrest order involving Najib and bearing her signature, had surfaced earlier today, drawing significant media attention to Istana Negara.
