  "account": "The residence of former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur, has been officially designated as a prison under the Prisons Act 1995. The declaration, made by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail on November 6, covers his property at No. 11, Jalan Langgak Duta, measuring 4,558.975 square metres. The property, located in Kuala Lumpur, was previously owned by Umno and was the scene of his conviction for misappropriating RM42 million in SRC International funds. The gazetted status does not specify when the premises will begin operating as a place of detention. This development follows Umno's payment of Najib's RM50 million fine, fulfilling a key condition of his royal pardon. The Attorney-General's Chambers later deferred the implementation of house arrest, pending clarification of legal issues surrounding the pardon.",
