Police chief and prison officials convene at Najib Razak's home for house-arrest planning
Sentul police chief Anuar Bakri Abdul Salam and prison officers met at Datuk Seri Najak Razak's Jalan Langgak Duta residence to discuss procedures for his conditional house arrest.
On a Wednesday afternoon, Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner Anuar Bakri Abdul Salam entered Datuk Seri Najib Razak's compound on Jalan Langgak Duta, with Prisons Department officers joining him shortly after. The gathering focused on coordinating the logistics, security, and procedural steps required for Najib's conditional house arrest, a measure that will allow him to serve the remainder of his prison term at home.
Officials confirmed the meeting was still in progress by 3:30 pm. Earlier reports noted that Najib has yet to pay the RM50 million fine imposed on him, a prerequisite for the house-arrest to commence. Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar explained that the fine must be settled at the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry, and that the Prisons Department will oversee the house-arrest process once payment is made.

The meeting signals the next step in enforcing Najib Razak's sentence, highlighting legal and security preparations for a high-profile former prime minister.
