  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: A court order permitting Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve his remaining prison term through house arrest is set to reach Kajang Prison shortly after Umno settles Najib's RM50 million fine, according to his lawyer, Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee. The High Court issued the ruling in light of the royal pardon following the payment today. Farhan disclosed to reporters that they have received the order and intend to deliver it to Kajang Prison right away. However, additional steps must be taken before Najib can be released and under house arrest. He anticipates the process will conclude today if all operations go as planned and would release a comprehensive press statement once complete. Farhan also indicated a press conference would be held at Langgak Duta today should everything be executed as planned.",
