Najib's family permitted to remain at Langgak Duta residence during house arrest

Former Prime Minister Najib Razak has been granted permission for his family members to remain at his Langgak Duta residence in Kuala Lumpur during his house arrest, according to reports. The arrangement permits his immediate family to continue residing at the property without requiring special clearance from authorities. The decision represents a concession in the conditions of his detention, allowing him to maintain household continuity with his dependents. However, any visitors beyond his immediate family circle are required to submit written applications to the Prisons Department for approval before entering the premises. The restrictions aim to maintain security and monitoring protocols while the former leader serves his sentence under house arrest conditions. Najib was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in August 2023 following his conviction in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) financial scandal, though the house arrest arrangement has allowed him to serve his sentence at his residence rather than in custody.
