Saifuddin: Najib’s house arrest conditions being finalised, but RM50m fine yet to be settled

The Malaysian Prisons Department is finalizing regulations for home detention, allowing former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to serve the remainder of his sentence under this method following a conditional pardon by the King.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that guidelines are being developed, as this is a new initiative in the country.

Najib remains in Kajang Prison pending the payment of a RM50 million fine, a condition for his eligibility for house arrest.

The pardon allows him to serve his sentence at home in Kuala Lumpur until August 2028.

JERTIH, Oct 18 — The Malaysian Prisons Department is now in the final phase of drafting regulations and conditions for the implementation of home detention following the conditional pardon decision that allows former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence through this method.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the matter is being pursued following a letter from the Pardons Board secretariat, which allows the Malaysian Prisons Department to set conditions for the implementation of house arrest.

“The Malaysian Prisons Department is in the final phase, currently drafting it. Our country has never had (house arrest) before, but suddenly there is... In the letter from the Pardons Board secretariat to the Malaysian Prisons Department, it is stated that the Malaysian Prisons Department can impose any conditions.

“So our (the Malaysian Prisons Department) task is to develop a set of regulations that are currently being worked on,” he said to reporters after officiating the launching ceremony of the Madani Adopted Village and Madani Adopted School initiatives of the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) in Felda Tenang, here today.

However, Saifuddin Nasution said Najib is still at Kajang Prison because he has not paid the RM50 million fine, which is one of the conditions for him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.

Last month, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, granted Najib a conditional pardon to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, subject to the payment of a RM50 million fine.

Recently, Najib’s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said his client would spend the remainder of his prison sentence for the SRC International case with his family at his residence in Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, under a home detention order granted by the King. — Bernama

马来西亚监狱部门正在敲定居家监禁的相关规定，允许前首相拿督斯里纳吉·敦·拉扎克在获得国王有条件赦免后，以居家监禁的方式服完剩余刑期。

内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔表示，相关指导方针正在制定中，因为这是该国的一项新举措。

纳吉布目前仍被关押在加影监狱，等待缴纳5000万令吉的罚款，这是他获得居家监禁资格的条件之一。

这项赦免令允许他在吉隆坡的家中服刑，直至 2028 年 8 月。

日惹，10 月 18 日——马来西亚监狱部门目前正处于制定居家监禁实施细则和条件的最后阶段，此前有条件赦免决定允许前首相拿督斯里纳吉·敦·拉扎克通过这种方式服完剩余的刑期。

内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔表示，此事是根据赦免委员会秘书处的一封信函进行处理的，该信函允许马来西亚监狱部门设定实施居家监禁的条件。

“马来西亚监狱局目前正处于最后阶段，正在起草相关文件。我国以前从未实行过（居家监禁），但现在突然出现了……赦免委员会秘书处致马来西亚监狱局的信函中指出，马来西亚监狱局可以附加任何条件。”

“因此，我们（马来西亚监狱部门）的任务是制定一套目前正在制定中的规章制度，”他在今天于Felda Tenang为国家反毒品机构（AADK）的Madani领养村和Madani领养学校计划主持启动仪式后对记者说。

然而，赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安表示，纳吉布仍然被关押在加影监狱，因为他还没有缴纳5000万令吉的罚款，这是他获准在家软禁服完剩余刑期的条件之一。

上个月，马来西亚最高元首苏丹易卜拉欣陛下给予纳吉有条件赦免，允许其在家软禁至2028年8月23日，但需缴纳5000万令吉的罚款。
