Police yet to receive information on Najib's transfer from Kajang Prison to his residence

Police in the Sentul district of Kuala Lumpur remain unaware of any plans to transfer former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak from Kajang Prison to his residence at Jalan Langgak Duta, according to their chief. Assistant Commissioner Anuar Bakri Abdul Salam confirmed that the area surrounding the residence was quiet this morning, with a police van present and security cones in place, but no signs of special arrangements for Najib's potential arrival.

The police chief emphasized that there had been no communication from the Prisons Department concerning the matter. It was earlier reported that police had set up a mobile police station near the residence as a precautionary measure for the possibility of Najib's transfer from prison. The deployment aimed to safeguard media personnel, nearby residents, and supporters while preventing traffic disruptions.

Najib's lawyer confirmed that his client would serve the remainder of his prison sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case at his Langgak Duta residence, under a house arrest order issued by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim. The details of the order's implementation remain undisclosed per the Prisons Department's instructions.

Despite the High Court rejecting an application to stay Najib's prison sentence in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case, his lawyer stated that this decision would not prevent the former prime minister from serving the remaining portion of his sentence under house arrest. In September, Sultan Ibrahim granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to complete his prison term in the SRC International case at his residence until August 23, 2028, contingent upon the payment of a RM50 million fine.
