Rosmah to stay at Pavilion during Najib's house arrest, claims Nurulhidayah

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will be required to serve the remainder of his six-year prison sentence under house arrest at his residence in Taman Duta, according to a High Court ruling issued yesterday. The decision replaces a previous order of his discharge on payment of a fine. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail is set to provide further details on the conditions and restrictions of Najib's house arrest during a parliamentary session tomorrow.

He stated that he will address all inquiries regarding the arrangement, including whether Najib's immediate family members will be able to reside with him and whether he will be permitted to receive visitors. The High Court's decision follows a hearing where both parties presented their arguments. Najib was seen arriving at his residence in Taman Duta at 9:27 PM on Wednesday to commence his house arrest, traveling in a silver Proton X70 SUV and escorted by multiple vehicles from the Prisons Department and the police force.
