Najib Razak Serves SRC International Sentence Under House Arrest

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced in the Dewan Rakyat that former Prime Minister Najib Razak is serving the remainder of his six-year sentence for the SRC International case under house arrest. Najib was released from prison on November 10 and is now confined to his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta under conditions established by the Federal Territories Pardons Board.

The restrictions prohibit Najib from engaging in political activities, attending public functions, or appearing in the media and on social media. He is permitted to live only with immediate family members, including his wives, children, children-in-law, and grandchildren. He cannot receive other visitors or leave his home without prior written permission.

Monitoring is managed by the Prisons Department of Malaysia, which requires all of Najib's communication devices to be registered. Saifuddin confirmed that a request for a second residence was denied and warned that any violation of these conditions will result in a return to prison. Najib's current sentence concludes on August 23, 2028, after which he may face a 15-year sentence related to the 1MDB corruption case.
