The Melaka PH chairman also says the coalition cannot rely solely on votes from its own members and supporters to win the state election.

Dusuki Mokhtar says those responsible should have exercised greater care to prevent such errors.

Who will bear the cost of turning his house into a prison? Will his family and friends be allowed visits? Can he post selfies while seated at the kitchen table? Or will the same conditions as Kajang prison apply?

Najibs house arrest dispute: When constitutional power meets administrative uncertainty Datuk Seri Najib Razaks latest house-arrest dispute is being framed as a contest over royal prerogative

Deputy prime minister says differences in political views among unity government parties have not affected the smooth running of the administration.

They say the court needs to clarify the meaning of discharge in the order concerning the former prime ministers SRC International sentence.

Projek Sama, C4 Center and Bersih say the legal ambiguities must be resolved transparently to protect the rule of law and public confidence.

The dispute may lead to implications beyond the former prime minister.

Najib Razaks legal team says any arguments challenging the conditional pardon order would amount to defying the kings command.

Barisan Nasional secretary-general Zambry Abd Kadir says the deferment of the house arrest should not be viewed merely as an administrative matter or a difference in legal interpretation.

KUALA LUMPUR - Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has settled the RM50 million fine imposed as a condition of his conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.The payment was made by Umno at the Criminal Registry of the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Friday.Najibs lawyer, Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, confirmed that the defence had obtained the house arrest order from the court and would submit it to the Malaysian Prisons Department for further action.Here is the timeline of developments surrounding Najibs house arrest ruling:Jan 29, 2024 The Federal Territories Pardons Board held its 61st meeting and decided to reduce Najibs prison sentence from 12 years to six years, while the fine was reduced from RM210 million to RM50 million.Feb 2, 2024 The decision to reduce his sentence and fine was announced publicly.Dec 22, 2025 The High Court dismissed Najibs application for a judicial review concerning the alleged Addendum Order, which purportedly allowed him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest

KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed disagreement with Umno's decision to pay the RM50 million fine on behalf of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, stressing that corruption and abuse of power must not be taken lightly in the name of friendship.Anwar said personal ties and goodwill towards Najib should not create the impression that corruption and abuse of power involving billions of ringgit could be overlooked.However, he acknowledged that the payment was Umno's prerogative, adding that the government respected the legal process and His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia's decision under the Constitution."Personally, I disagree

KUALA LUMPUR Two Prisons Department vehicles were spotted arriving at former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razaks residence in Langgak Duta at about 2.40pm today.This came after confirmation that a court order had been secured allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.Najibs lawyer, Farhan Muhammad Shafee, confirmed that his legal team had secured the court order for the former Pekan Member of Parliament (MP) to serve the remainder of his sentence at home.Sinar had earlier reported that the legal team representing the former Umno president was heading to Kajang Prison to submit the house arrest implementation order obtained from the High Court here.However, Farhan said several further procedures needed to be completed before Najib could be released from prison.He expected the matter to be settled today, subject to the smooth completion of the relevant processes.Asked whether the 73-year-old former Pekan MP would leave Kajang Prison immediately, he said it would depend on how the process proceeded.

With Najibs RM50 million fine settled and a house-arrest order issued, attention turns to Anthony Lokes pledge to step down once the former prime minister returns home.

SHAH ALAM - Controversies surrounding Umno, including issues involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, corruption-related investigations involving party figures and the Negeri Sembilan royal institution, are unlikely to significantly affect the partys electoral standing in Melaka.International Islamic University Malaysia political analyst Associate Professor Dr Syaza Shukri said Malay voters were already familiar with these controversies and were unlikely to substantially change their perceptions of Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) because of them.These included Umnos continued commitment to Najib, efforts to secure his house arrest and raise funds for his RM50 million fine, as well as corruption-related investigations and the royal institution controversy.These are issues that voters are already familiar with, even where some allegations remain unconfirmed and the rumours have not substantially changed their perceptions. Even Najibs conviction by three levels of court has not affected Malay voters views of Umno and BN.Therefore, I do not expect these controversies, including those originating outside Melaka, to have a significant impact on the partys electoral standing in the state, she said in an interview with Sinar Daily.Syaza also questioned speculation on social media that Umnos recent political moves were improving Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims public image, saying online discussions might not reflect broader public sentiment.She said those who appeared to be shifting their support towards Anwar could simply be among the more vocal social media users, while others consuming the same content might remain silent about their views.Many undecided voters continue to have reservations about Anwar and PH

KUALA LUMPUR - The High Court here today dismissed Datuk Seri Najib Razaks application for a stay of execution of his 15-year jail sentence and RM11.4 billion fine following his conviction in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case.Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin ruled that the applicant had failed to satisfy the special circumstances test required to justify a stay of execution."I tend to agree more with the deputy public prosecutors submissions that the gravity of the offence is a more important public interest consideration to which this court must have regard. The applicant was no longer a first-time offender by the time he was convicted by the trial judge in the related 1MDB case, said the judge.On the medical issues, the judge said that the court does not agree that the medical issues raised satisfy the special circumstances test as the medical report presented to her creates the impression that the applicants medical needs are being very well taken care of by the government, hospitals and medical experts.Immediately after the verdict, Najibs lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah informed the court that he will file a fresh application for a stay of execution at the Court of Appeal after obtaining the full grounds of judgment.Earlier, Muhammad Shafee submitted that following the verdict in December last year, the defence had not intended to apply for a stay of execution of the prison sentence at that stage, as Najib was then, and remains, serving his sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.He said the decision was made to allow Najib to benefit fully from the concurrent running of the sentences if the appellate court ruled in his favour on whether the sentences in the present case could run concurrently with those in the SRC case."The non-application for a stay on that day was expressly premised upon the applicants liberty to apply for a stay at a later date, depending on subsequent developments in the law or other circumstances, said the lawyer, adding that Najibs age and health condition should be taken into consideration when deciding the application.Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor Datuk Ahmad Akram Gharib, who opposed the application, argued that Najib had failed to demonstrate any exceptional circumstances to justify a stay of execution pending appeal."If a stay is granted, the respondent, representing the public interest, would suffer real prejudice as the enforcement of a valid conviction would be suspended, potentially eroding public confidence in the administration of justice and delaying finality in a case that has already taken seven years from charge to conviction, he said.Ahmad Akram maintained that the interests of justice, the gravity of the offences, the accuseds prior convictions and the overwhelming public interest all support the dismissal of this application.On Dec 26 last year, the High Court sentenced Najib to 15 years imprisonment and imposed an RM11.4 billion fine in the 1MDB case
