Prison Dept vehicles enter Najib’s home as preparations for house arrest appear to begin

Two Prison Department vehicles were spotted entering the former prime minister Najib Razak's home in Kuala Lumpur this morning. The vehicles arrived around 9:45am and were followed by individuals in plain clothes who spoke with Najib's aide, Ahmad Lutfi Azhar. They were seen walking around the property, including the fencing. The purpose of the visit remains unclear.

Ahmad Lutfi spoke to reporters but provided no further details. Several dozen journalists and photographers were present outside the residence, waiting for more information. This development occurred the day after Najib received a conditional pardon from the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department, allowing him to serve his remaining prison term under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
