KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak is expected to begin serving the remainder of his SRC International sentence at his Taman Duta home today after a stop at Kajang Prison, his lawyer said.
Speaking to reporters after the High Court hearing, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said prison officers would read the conditions of house arrest to the former prime minister at Kajang Prison before taking him home.
“That is the plan and that is what I was informed by the officer in charge from the prison,” he said when asked if Najib would be home by the end of the day.
He said the officer was waiting to collect the sealed court order before proceeding with the arrangements at Kajang Prison.
Earlier, High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin ordered Najib to serve the balance of his reduced six-year prison term at his home in Jalan Langgak Duta until Aug 23, 2028, in line with the conditional royal pardon granted on Sept 18.
