DATUK Seri Najib Razak is allowed to reside only with members of his immediate family while serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told the Dewan Rakyat that the conditions set by the Pardons Board permit Najib to live with his wife, children, sons- and daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.
Anyone outside this group must obtain prior written approval from the board before being allowed to stay at the residence.
Najib is also prohibited from receiving visitors without written permission.
Other conditions governing his house arrest include restrictions on his movements, telephone use and media appearances.
He is also barred from participating in political activities while serving the remainder of his sentence at home.
Meanwhile, Najib’s request to use a second residence as an additional location for his house arrest has been rejected.
Saifuddin said Najib had submitted a written application seeking approval for another property to be gazetted as an additional location for him to serve the remainder of his SRC International prison sentence under house arrest.
However, he said the government would continue to abide by the Federal Territories Pardons Board’s decision, which limits the arrangement to Najib’s residence in Langgak Duta.
“We could not accede to Najib’s request,” he said.
Saifuddin was responding to Suhaizan Kaiat (PH-Pulai), who asked for details of the conditions imposed on Najib during his house arrest, including which government agency was responsible for monitoring his compliance. - November 11, 2026
