  "summary": "Malaysian Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar has stated that former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has not yet paid the RM50 million fine required for serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. The fine must be paid at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Registrar's Office, as the case was filed and heard there. Once payment is made, it is unclear exactly when Najib will be released from Kajang Prison, where he has been serving his sentence since August 2022 for misappropriating RM42 million belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd. The Malaysian Prison Department is expected to issue standard operating procedures for the implementation of the house-arrest arrangement.",
