  "summary": "Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak may leave Kajang Prison next month to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest if the High Court grants a stay of his 15-year 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) sentence and the RM50 million fine imposed as a condition of his conditional pardon is paid, according to his lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah. The High Court is set to hear Najib's application to stay the execution of his 15-year prison sentence in the 1MDB case pending his appeal on October 14. If the necessary preparations have been completed by then, Najib could potentially be released on the same day if all conditions are met, as per Shafee's statements.",
