LUMPUR – Anyone wishing to visit former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at his Langgak Duta residence must comply with the visitation procedures set by the Malaysian Prisons Department.

His lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said visitors intending to meet the 73-year-old former Pekan member of parliament must obtain approval from the relevant authorities beforehand.

However, he said his legal team had yet to receive detailed information on the visitation arrangements for Najib.

"We expect visitors to submit an application beforehand.

"Visitors must still obtain approval from the Malaysian Prisons Department to meet him," he said during a press conference after the High Court proceedings here on Tuesday.
