Malaysia Details House Arrest Conditions for Former PM Najib Razak
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak began serving the remainder of his jail term under house arrest at his Kuala Lumpur residence after receiving a royal pardon in September. Under strict conditions, he is barred from political activities, media interactions, and receiving visitors without permission. Najib must live only with immediate family, use approved communication devices, and attend a rehabilitation program. Violating these terms will result in his return to prison. The house arrest applies to his reduced six-year sentence, while a separate 15-year term remains under appeal.
