KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is reportedly set to pay his RM50 million fine today, satisfying the core condition required to transfer him from Kajang Prison to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.

Citing a source, the New Straits Times reported that a representative of the 73-year-old former premier is scheduled to deliver the payment at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex this morning.

Settling the financial penalty is the mandatory condition attached to the conditional pardon granted by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, on Sept 18 during the 64th meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board at Istana Negara.

The royal decree permits Najib to serve the remainder of his reduced custodial term at home until Aug 23, 2028.
