Prisons dept officers visit Najib’s Taman Duta house
They were reportedly there to evaluate whether the home is suitable for the ex-prime minister to be placed under house arrest.
Two vehicles from the prisons department arrived at Najib Razak's residence in Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur this morning around 9:40am, according to Berita Harian. The officers, accompanying several of their colleagues, entered the compound and spent approximately 15 minutes examining the property before proceeding to the front door.
The visit came a day after the former prime minister received a conditional pardon to serve his remaining jail term in his home. The pardon followed a meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board, with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong ultimately deciding to allow Najib to complete his six-year sentence at his residence in the SRC International case, provided he pays the remaining RM50 million fine.
Currently serving a six-year sentence at Kajang prison after the FTPB reduced his original 12-year sentence and fine in February 2024, Najib, 73, will remain under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, subject to the fine's payment.
