Vehicles and police gather at Najib Razak's Langgak Duta home amid house-arrest conditions
Former prime minister Najib Razak's Langgak Duta residence saw a flurry of cars and police presence as former staff arrived, while he remains under conditional house arrest.
In Kuala Lumpur, multiple vehicles were observed moving in and out of the Langgak Duta residence belonging to former prime minister Najib Razak around midday, reportedly carrying his former staff members. Law enforcement officers kept a tight security cordon as journalists assembled at the site from 11 a.m. The house arrest, granted by the Pardons Board, is contingent upon Najib paying a RM50 million fine linked to his conviction in the SRC International case, and he will be monitored by the Prisons Department until August 2028.
Najib's daughter, Nooryana Najwa, has stated that the house has remained vacant since his incarceration on 23 August 2022. His counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said the former leader cannot afford the fine, leaving the condition unresolved.
