Senior government officials have clarified that former Prime Minister Najib Razak's immediate family will be permitted to live with him while under house arrest, providing some allowance during the period of confinement.
According to statements by the relevant minister, Najib remains subject to strict conditions that substantially limit his movements and public engagement. He is prohibited from engaging with media outlets and forbidden from using social media platforms to communicate with the public.
Additionally, Najib is barred from attending public events and participating in any form of political activity, effectively removing him from public life during the house arrest period. These restrictions are designed to isolate him from external communications while allowing his family to provide domestic support.
The conditions represent a significant limitation on the former leader's freedoms, though they appear to recognize the practical need for family members to assist with his daily living arrangements. The specifics regarding the duration of house arrest and any other associated conditions were not disclosed in official statements.
