‘Bossku’ belum bayar denda RM50 juta

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has yet to pay a RM50 million fine as a condition for serving his remaining prison term under house arrest, according to former Attorney-General Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar. The payment must be made at the High Court Registrar's Office in Kuala Lumpur, as the case has commenced and is being heard there.

"As of now, Najib's family has not paid the fine," Mokhtar told reporters today. "After the payment is made, I cannot precisely estimate when Najib will be allowed to return home, it may take some time." Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for implementing house arrest will be issued by the Malaysian Prison Department. A review of Penjara Kajang's office found no movement regarding former Penang MP Najib.

At 73, Najib is currently serving his prison sentence in Penjara Kajang since August 23, 2022, after being found guilty of embezzling RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd. On September 18, Sultan Ibrahim permitted Najib to serve the remaining prison term under house arrest with conditions including the payment of RM50 million in fines and adherence to the stipulated requirements, until August 23, 2028.
