Malaysia ex-PM Najib Razak’s house arrest temporarily halted due to ‘complex legal questions’

UPDATE: Malaysia's Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) on Friday (Nov 6) called for former prime minister Najib Razak's house arrest to be temporarily suspended, citing "complex legal questions" over the interpretation of his conditional royal pardon. Earlier on Friday, Najib was seen leaving Kajang Prison, though his current location remains unclear. Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has left prison on Friday (Nov 6) to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest, after his fine was paid as part of the terms of a royal pardon. His party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), said that a RM50 million (US$12.3 million) fine was paid to the Kuala Lumpur High court that morning, after a crowdfunding campaign reached its target. Najib was reported to have left Kajang Prison at about 2.37pm in a silver car, accompanied by escort vehicles and a Malaysian Prisons Department van. #malaysia #malaysianews #najibrazak Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
