DATUK Seri Najib Razak is expected to be transferred from Kajang Prison to his Taman Duta residence today to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest, lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said.

Shafee said prison officers would first explain the conditions of the house arrest to the former prime minister before taking him to his residence.

“That is the plan, and that is what I was informed by the officer in charge from the prison,” he told reporters after the High Court hearing.

He said the officer was awaiting the sealed court order before making the necessary arrangements at Kajang Prison.

Earlier, High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin ruled that Najib could serve the balance of his reduced six-year sentence at his Jalan Langgak Duta residence until Aug 23, 2028, in line with the conditional royal pardon granted on Sept 18.

In a separate statement, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) said it would abide by the decree of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.

The statement followed the High Court’s ruling, which takes effect today. - November 10, 2026
