Azmin Ali, secretary-general of Bersatu, has urged the authorities to reveal all conditions attached to Najib Razak's house arrest, citing the need for public transparency in the matter.
The call comes as questions linger over the specifics of the arrangement granted to the former premier, who is serving his sentence at his residence rather than in a custodial facility.
Azmin said the government should also clarify whether other prisoners could apply for comparable privileges under the same criteria used in Najib's case. The lack of clear information has raised concerns about the consistency and fairness of sentencing arrangements across the Malaysian penal system.
The house arrest of high-profile figures has drawn scrutiny from both political observers and the general public, with many calling for greater clarity on how such decisions are made and what safeguards are in place.
No official response from the government has yet been issued regarding Bersatu's demands for fuller disclosure of the terms and their broader application.
