Shafee: Najib's frozen assets complicate RM50m payment for house arrest

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has expressed gratitude to the Sultan Ibrahim, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, for granting him a conditional pardon that allows him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. The pardon, which relates to his conviction in the SRC International case, was announced through his lawyers at Messrs Shafee & Co. The decision, made by the Federal Territories Pardons Board, enables Najib to serve his sentence until August 23, 2028, subject to the payment of RM50 million and other conditions.

Najib remains in Kajang Prison until these conditions are fulfilled, and his assets and properties are still under freezing orders.
