Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the Malaysian Home Minister, clarified that the Prisons Department never received any instruction pertaining to a home detention order for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. He presented a copy of the Royal Pardon Board's order received by the ministry on February 2, 2024, following a meeting on January 29, 2024, chaired by the King. The order only addressed the reduction of imprisonment and fines, not home detention. The minister addressed the court's ruling acknowledging the validity of an addendum titah (royal decree) from Istana Pahang regarding Najib's home detention sentence, which had circulated widely among political leaders and participants of solidarity gatherings during the trial. Saifuddin Nasution emphasized that there was no issue of the ministry intentionally concealing the addendum, stating that they did not receive nor could they implement any orders for home detention.

Menjelaskan lanjut, Saifuddin Nasution berkata, tidak timbul langsung isu konon pihak kementerian tersebut seperti sengaja bertindak menyembunyikan adendum berkenaan.
