KUALA LUMPUR – Only the wives, children, children-in-law and grandchildren of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak are allowed to live with him as he serves the remainder of his six-year prison sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said however, Najib is not allowed to receive visitors without written permission.
"Najib is not allowed to live with anyone other than his family members unless written permission is granted.
"At the same time, Najib is prohibited from making public appearances, attending public gatherings, let alone participating in political activities," he said during a parliamentary sitting on Thursday.
Previously, Najib was ordered to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest at Langgak Duta, with immediate effect.
The development followed the High Court's decision here on Tuesday to set aside the order of discharge last Friday and replace it with a new order for the former Umno president.
Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin made the decision after hearing an application by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to review the release order issued on Nov 6 and obtain a new order.
Saifuddin added that any breach of the conditions would result in Najib being immediately returned to Kajang Prison or another prison designated by the authorities.
"This is clearly stated in the conditions and details outlined in the directives and procedures.
"We have anticipated such circumstances. The principle is that conditions have been imposed and if they are breached, he will be immediately returned to prison," he said.
