  "account": "On November 7, the residence of former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta, was officially designated as a prison under Section 3 of the Prisons Act 1995. The decision was announced by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail in a Gazette published by the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC). The 4,558.975 square metre area surrounding the property, located at No. 11, Jalan Langgak Duta, will be treated as a prison for the purpose of lawful custody. The declaration took immediate effect upon sealing. Meanwhile, Najib has reportedly fulfilled the RM50 million fine imposed due to the SRC International Sdn Bhd fund misappropriation case, fulfilling a condition for the conditional pardon granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on September 18, allowing him to serve the remaining prison term under house arrest until August 23, 2028. However, the AGC has decided to temporarily postpone the implementation of house arrest for Najib due to the need for further analysis and clarification of the Conditional Pardon Order and its potential impact. Despite the deferment, the AGC emphasizes that Najib must continue residing at his current detention location, in adherence to the authorities' directives.",
