KAJANG: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak arrived at Kajang Prison at 6.14pm for final preparations before being transferred to his residence to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
A convoy of five vehicles carrying Najib was seen entering the prison compound.
He is expected to be taken from the prison to his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur, where he will serve the remainder of his sentence.
Earlier, Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said Najib was expected to begin serving his sentence at home after stopping at Kajang Prison.
This follows the High Court’s decision to set aside the Nov 6 order for discharge upon payment of a fine and replace it with an order requiring Najib to serve his sentence under house arrest.
High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin ordered Najib to serve the remainder of his reduced six-year prison term at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta until Aug 23, 2028, in accordance with the conditional royal pardon granted on Sept 18.
