Kajang Prison and the residence of former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak have become the center of media attention since his conditional pardon was announced by Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, on September 18, 2026. Reports indicate that Malaysian Prison Department personnel have blocked access to the prison to manage the influx of people. Media personnel are restricted to a designated waiting area near the prison entrance, with no movement detected from Najib's confinement as of 12:30 pm.
Najib's private residence on Jalan Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, has been visited by over 50 local and international reporters after the news broke. The compound gates are flanked by several police vehicles. The Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU) of the Prime Minister's Department announced the pardon decision at the 64th Pardons Board meeting for the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya at Istana Negara.
The decision allows the 73-year-old Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
