  "account": "A mobile police station will be set up near one of the former Prime Minister Najib Razak's residences starting tomorrow, according to Sentul Police District Chief Anuar Bakri Abdul Salam. The move is not aimed at keeping an eye on Najib 24/7, but rather to ensure his safety and smooth transition out of jail if the move to his chosen residence is made, to safeguard journalists and residents, and to avoid traffic congestion and the presence of supporters. Anuar clarified that the status of the residence as the location for Najib's confinement has not been officially confirmed, as they have not received any official confirmation. He added that while his office controls one of Najib's official homes, other residences of Najib may also be under consideration, but that remains unconfirmed. Regarding the presence of law enforcement to oversee Najib's confinement, Anuar stated that according to the information he received, this responsibility falls under the Malaysian Prison Department, not the PDRM. Four Malaysian Prison Department officers arrived at the residence yesterday for a check-up and assessment. Anuar clarified that PDRM's role is merely to assist in facilitating Najib's movement to enter the residence and to maintain the safety of journalists. The four officers will include a supervisor and two members, assisted by a mobile patrol unit (MPV). Yesterday, Attorney General Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar informed that the standard operating procedure (SOP) for Najib's confinement at a house confinement will cover aspects such as reception, supervision, and monitoring of Najib's movements after receiving the official letter. On Friday, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim approved Najib's conditional pardon for him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a fine of RM50 million. The Legal Aid Department (BHEUU) of the Prime Minister's Department announced this decision during the 64th Session of the Council of Legal Advisors in Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya at Istana Negara. The former Penang MP is currently serving his prison sentence at the Kajang Prison since August 23, 2022, for the offense of embezzling RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.",
