  "account": "Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's residence in Taman Duta has been officially declared a prison, according to a decision by Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The area encompasses the entire property and 4,559 square meters of surrounding land, as announced in the Federal Gazette. This move comes after the High Court dismissed a RM50 million fine imposed on Najib in the SRC International fund misappropriation case, which is a condition of Najib's conditional royal pardon. The pardon allows him to complete his remaining prison sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028. However, the Attorney-General's Chambers has urged a postponement of house arrest and a request for Najib to remain in Kajang prison while further investigation is conducted to clarify the interpretation of the conditional pardon and its implications on the Order of Discharge.",
  "summary": "An order published in the government gazette covers all buildings and a land area of 4,559 square metres at No 11 Jalan Langgak Duta in Kuala Lumpur.",
