Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has yet to pay the RM50 million fine stipulated as a condition for serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar said the fine must be paid at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Registrar’s Office, as the case was filed and heard there.
“As of now, Najib’s family has not paid the fine. Once payment is made, I cannot say exactly when Najib will be brought home, as the process may take some time,” he said when contacted today.
He added that the standard operating procedures for the implementation of the house-arrest arrangement would be issued by the Prison Department.
A Bernama check at the Kajang Prison today found no activity involving the former Pekan MP.

Najib, 73, has been serving his sentence at the Kajang Prison since Aug 23, 2022, following his conviction for misappropriating RM42 million belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
On Sept 18, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence for the SRC International case under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.

You have overlooked one pertinent point in your haste to recommend a house arrest for Najib. He is a criminal and his accounts are frozen. How can your PM or yourself ever recommend paying the fine? The rule of the law does not provide for house arrest ans as auch
AG can you be transparent and let rakyat know whether the Agong followed the Pardons' Board advice or used his discretion to decide the outcome.
Lacuna, unenforceable. New laws needed. Until then, imbroglio.
