Abstract

The article discusses the recent court ruling against former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who sought to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest due to his involvement in the 1MDB scandal. The Kuala Lumpur High Court determined that a royal order permitting his house arrest was invalid, as it could not be executed independently of the Pardons Board. Najib's lawyer plans to appeal the decision, while Najib's political future remains uncertain, with his prison term lasting until 2028. Additionally, he faces a critical ruling in another trial related to 1MDB, which could further impact his situation. [Extracted from the article]
