AG says Prisons Dept to issue SOPs for Najib’s house arrest, RM50m fine must be paid

The Prisons Department in Malaysia is set to release standard operating procedures (SOPs) for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest, according to Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar. The SOPs will cover various aspects of Najib's house arrest, including visits, security measures, and monitoring of his movements.

However, before the house arrest process can begin, Najib must pay the RM50 million fine at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Registrar's Office, as per the AG's statement. The news comes after the Prime Minister's Department announced a conditional pardon for Najib, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028.

This pardon is contingent upon the payment of the RM50 million fine and was granted at the 64th meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board.
