KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail is expected to address issues surrounding the house arrest arrangement for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in parliament tomorrow.
“I’ll answer all those questions in parliament tomorrow,” he said briefly to the New Straits Times in response to a query.
He was responding to questions about the conditions and restrictions governing Najib’s house arrest, including whether his immediate family members could continue living with him and whether he would be allowed to receive visitors.
Yesterday, the High Court ordered Najib to serve the remainder of his six-year SRC International prison sentence under house arrest at his Taman Duta residence until Aug 23, 2028.
Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin, after hearing both parties, set aside the Nov 6 order of discharge on payment of fine and replaced it in full with yesterday’s order.
Later, Najib arrived at his residence in Taman Duta at 9.27pm to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
He was transported in a silver Proton X70 sports utility vehicle (SUV), accompanied by several vehicles from the Prisons Department and the police.
