KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has arrived at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta here today to begin serving the remainder of his SRC International prison sentence under house arrest.

Najib’s arrival at his Taman Duta home followed a fresh High Court order this afternoon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence at the residence until August 23, 2028.

He arrived at his residence at about 9.25pm in a silver SUV, accompanied by a convoy of several vehicles believed to be carrying security personnel, which escorted him into the compound as reporters waited outside.

A few of his supporters, who had waited here since 5pm, shouted “Hidup Bossku” repeatedly as Najib’s vehicle passed by.

Earlier today, High Court judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin directed the Court Registrar to issue a new warrant of release after hearing submissions from Najib’s lawyers and Deputy Public Prosecutors.

Aslam said the new order cancelled the November 5 order and replaced it with one allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence at home.

The fresh order came after the Attorney-General’s Chambers sought a review of the previous court order, saying clarification was needed over its wording and legal effect.

Najib had remained at Kajang Prison despite an earlier court order paving the way for his house arrest, after the AGC said implementation should be deferred pending legal clarification.

The former prime minister’s conditional royal pardon, granted on September 18, allows him to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to the stipulated conditions.
