Concealing details of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s house arrest will further erode public confidence in the justice system, former PKR lawmaker Wong Chen warns.

Wong argued that as taxpayers, Malaysians were entitled to know how public funds would be used to monitor Najib during his house arrest.

This includes whether the former premier would receive special privileges while serving the remainder of his detention house-bound.

“The public are victims of the 1MDB scandal, and as such we have the right to know if Najib will be living in luxury with multiple helpers, and will he be given unlimited visitation rights.
