KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak performed Friday prayers in Kajang Prison today, the Prisons Department confirmed.
This was Najib’s first Friday prayers since being allowed to spend the remainder of his SRC International jail sentence under house arrest at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta.
Earlier, media reports said Najibwas seen leaving his residence about 10.30am in a Proton X70 which was escorted by Prisons Department and police vehicles.
Yesterday, his son, Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin, had said Najib would perform Friday prayers in Kajang Prison, in line with stipulations from the Prisons Department.
On Tuesday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court issued an order for Najib to spend his remaining sentence for the SRC International case — until Aug 23, 2028 — under house arrest.
This was after his fine of RM50 million was settled.
