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.
Prisons department officers visited Najib Razak's residence at Taman Duta in Kuala Lumpur this morning. Two vehicles carrying several officers arrived at the compound around 9:40am, according to Berita Harian. The officers spent approximately 15 minutes surveying the area before entering the front door. The purpose of their visit was to assess whether the residence was appropriate for Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
This follows the decision by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to allow the former prime minister to complete his six-year jail term at his home, provided he pays a fine of RM50 million. The conditional pardon was announced by the Prime Minister's Department following an FTPB meeting. Najib, 73, has been serving a reduced six-year sentence at Kajang prison since February 2024, after the FTPB halved his original 12-year sentence and reduced the fine from RM210 million.
