  "account": "Former prime minister Najib Razak's residence at No 11 Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta, has been designated a prison, according to the Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The declaration, published in the Federal Gazette, covers the entire building complex and a land area of 4,559 square metres. The decision was made under the Prisons Act and comes as part of a conditional royal pardon enabling Najib to complete his prison term under house arrest until August 23, 2028. The house arrest condition was contingent upon the payment of a RM50 million fine, which has now been settled. However, the Attorney-General's Chambers has urged a postponement of house arrest and suggested that Najib should remain in Kajang prison until further review and clarification regarding the interpretation of the conditional pardon order and its implications are determined.",
