[UPDATED] Prison Department vehicles seen at Najib's residence

KUALA LUMPUR: Two Prison Department vehicles were spotted entering the former prime minister's residence this morning, believed to be carrying several officers. They arrived around 9:40am, inspecting the area for roughly 15 minutes before departing at approximately 11:50am. However, Najib Razak's special officer, Ahmad Lutfi Azhar, did not provide a comment when approached at the residence.

About ten media representatives have been stationed outside the residence since the morning to monitor the latest developments following the conditional pardon granted to Najib. It was reported that Najib was given house arrest for the remainder of his sentence, contingent on him paying a RM50 million fine from the SRC International conviction.

The Federal Territories Pardons Board confirmed that Najib must adhere to all conditions imposed for him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028. The Sultan of Malaysia had also consented to the conditional pardon.
