Home Detention Order for Najib Not Received by Prisons Department, Says Home MinisterDatuk 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.
