Najib’s family still awaiting house arrest SOP, says daughter

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — The family of former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has yet to receive any official information, including standard operating procedures, regarding the implementation of his house arrest, according to daughter Nooryana Najwa. Nooryana stated that both the family and his lawyers have not yet received details from the Prisons Department on any required modifications to the residence for the house arrest arrangement.

The family and his legal team are still awaiting official information from the Prisons Department, with Nooryana noting that they have not heard any word or information from prison officers. The Langgak Duta residence, located in Putrajaya, had been vacant since Najib's imprisonment on August 23, 2022, as it was chosen by his lawyer, Datuk Hasnal Rezua Merican, due to no family members residing there and its suitability to be used as a prison facility under the Prisons Department's criteria.
