KUALA LUMPUR, November 12 — Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail will explain the conditions governing former Prime Minister Najib Razak’s house arrest in Parliament on Thursday.
The briefing will address family visits, movement restrictions and monitoring arrangements following Najib’s return to his Jalan Langgak Duta residence Tuesday night.
Wanita UMNO executive council member Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid said Najib retains prisoner status, with visits and meals subject to prison regulations. She also claimed his family cannot reside with him.
Najib is serving the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028. His residence has reportedly been designated as a detention facility.
Food deliveries and visitor access are expected to face restrictions. The arrangement followed payment of a RM50 million fine. The High Court replaced its November 6 discharge order to clarify the house arrest arrangement.
