Police vehicles enter Najib's Taman Duta residence amid house ar rest developments

Police vehicles entered the neighborhood of Taman Duta in Kuala Lumpur today as media were instructed to vacate the premises of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's residence due to ongoing developments regarding his house arrest. The exact timing of whether Najib will be brought to the Taman Duta location to commence serving his sentence under house arrest remains uncertain.

Earlier, a convoy of five vehicles, presumed to be transporting Najib, was observed departing from Kajang Prison around 2:40 pm. Najib appeared before the High Court to participate in proceedings concerning an application by the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) to reassess and scrutinize the discharge order granted in his favor.

On Friday, attorneys had anticipated Najib's start of house arrest in Langgak Duta, contingent upon Umno's payment of a RM50 million fine at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. However, the initiation of house arrest was postponed following the Attorney-General's Chambers request for additional examination and clarification regarding the Conditional Pardon Order and its implications following the High Court Discharge Order, which followed the fine payment.
