On November 10, the High Court granted Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak permission to serve the remaining two years of his jail sentence at home, following a new warrant issued by the Court Registrar.

Najib, dressed in a light blue baju melayu, attended the hearing alongside his daughter Najwa, who was also attired in a blue floral baju kurung.
