  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — According to Parliament, only Najib Razak's immediate family members are allowed to live with him during his house arrest. The strict conditions imposed by the Pardons Board prohibit the former prime minister from using personal mobile phones or engaging on social media. Speaking during Question Time, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail provided details of the specific residential, movement, and communication restrictions. Najib's immediate family, defined as his spouse, children, sons-in-law, and grandchildren, are permitted to reside with him, while anyone else requires prior written approval. The Pardons Board outlines precisely who may stay, with additional written permission needed for anyone else to live there. Furthermore, Najib is strictly confined to his registered address and cannot leave for any reason, including attending prayers, without written authorization. Visitors are not allowed, except for prior written consent, and the only permitted use of mobile devices is for official communications verified by the Prisons Department.",
