Police have established round-the-clock security at the Kuala Lumpur residence of former Prime Minister Najib Razak since he was placed under house arrest, according to law enforcement officials.
The protective detail at the Langgak Duta property was deployed immediately after authorities received formal notification of the house arrest, police said.
The security arrangement forms part of enforcement procedures related to Najib's legal circumstances. The former leader's case has drawn significant public attention in Malaysia as it relates to ongoing investigations and judicial proceedings.
Police indicated that the continuous security presence is standard protocol under such circumstances, ensuring compliance with court-ordered restrictions while maintaining order at the residence.
The house arrest represents a significant development in the former Prime Minister's legal situation, which has been a major focus of Malaysian law enforcement and the judiciary in recent years.
