Home Ministry says ready to carry out Najib’s house arrest; court order today cleared the air
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — The Home Ministry this evening said it is prepared to carry out a new court order today for...
The Home Ministry has announced its readiness to enforce a court order for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve his house arrest until August 2028. The High Court in Kuala Lumpur revoked an earlier order on November 6 and replaced it with a new one, requiring Najib to complete his remaining jail term under house arrest.
This ruling was prompted by the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) filing an application to rectify legal uncertainties surrounding Najib's house arrest. Najib, who was present at the court proceedings, was taken from Kajang Prison and is set to serve his sentence at his residence in Kuala Lumpur. The delay in implementing the house arrest earlier was attributed to legal issues regarding the interpretation of the conditional pardon order and the legal effect of the November 6 "Order of Discharge".
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail emphasized that the Ministry and the Prisons Department would ensure all decisions related to the execution of sentence and detention are carried out according to the law and valid court orders.
