  "summary": "Datuk Seri Najib Razak is currently serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest in Malaysia, with the stipulation that he can only reside with his immediate family members. According to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the conditions set by the Pardons Board permit Najib to live with his wives, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. However, anyone else residing with him would require prior written approval from the board. Additionally, Najib is prohibited from receiving visitors without written permission, and any movement, telephone use, or media appearances must also adhere to the imposed restrictions. The house arrest also bars him from engaging in political activities.",
