KUALA LUMPUR: Police vehicles entered Jalan Langgak Duta in Taman Duta today as media personnel were ordered to leave the grounds of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s residence amid developments over his house arrest.
However, it remains unclear whether Najib will be brought to the Taman Duta residence to begin serving his sentence under house arrest today.
Earlier, a five-vehicle convoy believed to be carrying Najib was seen leaving Kajang Prison at about 2.40pm.
Najib was taken to the High Court to attend proceedings on an application by the Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC) to review and examine the discharge order issued in his favour.
Last Friday, Najib was to have begun serving house arrest in Langgak Duta under the terms of a conditional pardon after Umno settled his RM50 million fine at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
However, the implementation of the house arrest was deferred after the A-GC announced it sought further study and clarification on the interpretation of the Conditional Pardon Order and the effect of the High Court Discharge Order issued following the fine payment.
