KUALA LUMPUR: After Najib Razak received a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest, his special officer Ahmad Lutfi Azhar remained tight-lipped about developments. Lutfi emerged from Najib's residence in Jalan Langgak Duta to hand out water to over 50 media personnel who had been waiting for hours.
When asked about the family's well-being and whether they would join them, Lutfi refused to comment. He also stated that it was up to the media to decide if they should continue waiting outside the house. Police patrols were noticed in the vicinity, and supporters of Najib were also present. The matter of the RM50 million fine was not expected to be resolved today.
Journalists from various media houses had been waiting at the scene since noon, enduring the haze and gloomy weather.
