KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Former prime minister Najib Razak’s family members and other individuals are not permitted to live with him while he serves the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, according to Umno Women’s executive council member Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid.

According to Harian Metro, Nurulhidayah said Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, is expected to stay at her residence in Pavilion instead of the Taman Duta house where he is serving his sentence.

Responding to questions on Threads about the implementation of the house arrest order, Nurulhidayah said the Taman Duta residence had been gazetted as a prison, meaning standard prison rules would apply. She also claimed that online food purchases would not be allowed and that all meals and drinks would be determined by prison authorities.

She added that visiting hours would be set by the authorities and carried out according to procedures similar to those in prisons.

Yesterday, High Court judge Aslam Zainuddin set aside a release order issued on Nov 6 and replaced it with an order transferring Najib from Kajang Prison to his Taman Duta residence with immediate effect, in line with a conditional pardon order.

The order allows Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house detention until Aug 23, 2028, following his conviction in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
