Najib's lawyer unaware of request to use second house
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer said he was unaware of the former prime minister’s reported request to use a second residence while serving the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
In a recent development, Najib Razak's lawyer, Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, revealed that he was unaware of the former prime minister's request to use a second residence while serving his house arrest sentence. The lawyer first learned of this request through news reports and expressed surprise upon being asked about it by the New Straits Times.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had previously mentioned in the Dewan Rakyat that Najib had submitted a written request for permission to use another house, but the conditions governing his house arrest, as determined by the Pardons Board, only allowed for one residence at No. 11, Jalan Langgak Duta. The conditions also include additional requirements set by the Prisons Department for supervision and monitoring, as well as mandatory participation in rehabilitation programs.
