[KiniNews] Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is expected to be transferred directly from Kajang Prison to his residence at Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur, to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
This follows the Kuala Lumpur High Court's clarification today on two separate parts of the order implementing the conditional pardon granted to Najib.
The clarification came as the court heard an application by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to review the release order issued on Nov 6, following Najib's payment of the RM50 million fine.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, Transport Minister Anthony Loke has resigned from the cabinet effective immediately.
The DAP secretary-general said his resignation is a matter of principle, as he previously announced that his last day as transport minister would be when Najib begins his house arrest, and he was sticking to his stance on the matter.
