Disgraced former Prime Minister Najib Razak returned to his Jalan Langgak Duta residence in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday to begin serving the remaining two years of his SRC International corruption sentence under house arrest.
His transfer followed a High Court ruling earlier that day, in which Judge Aslam Zainuddin heard submissions from both Najib’s lawyers and Deputy Public Prosecutors.
Judge Aslam cancelled a November 06 warrant and directed the Court Registrar to issue a corrected order permitting home confinement.
Najib was originally scheduled for release from Kajang Prison last Friday after paying a RM50 million fine as part of his conditional pardon. However, the Attorney General delayed the transfer to seek clarification, noting that the initial court order was unclear and potentially defective.
Footnote: Anthony Loke resigned as Malaysia's Transport Minister with immediate effect.
