KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s family members and other individuals are not permitted to live with him while he serves the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, according to Umno Women’s executive council member Datuk Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid.
Nurulhidayah said Najib’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, is expected to stay at her residence in Pavilion instead of the Taman Duta house where he is serving his sentence, Harian Metro reported today.
Responding to questions on Threads about the implementation of the house arrest order, Nurulhidayah said the Jalan Langgak Duta residence had been gazetted as a prison, meaning standard prison rules would apply.
She also claimed that online food purchases would not be allowed and that all meals and drinks would be determined by prison authorities.
She added that visiting hours would be set by the authorities and carried out according to procedures similar to those in prisons.
Yesterday, High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin set aside a release order issued on November 6 and replaced it with an order transferring Najib from Kajang Prison to his residence with immediate effect, in line with a conditional pardon order.
The order allows Najib to serve the remainder of his six-year sentence under house detention until August 23, 2028, following his conviction in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
