KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — The security presence outside former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s residence was nowhere to be seen today, a day after the Taman Duta property was placed under tight security ahead of his anticipated return under house arrest.
According to Astro Awani, no police officers or Prisons Department vehicles were visible outside the Jalan Langgak Duta residence, while yellow security tape restricting access to the property had also been removed.
The scene contrasted sharply with Friday, when security personnel controlled access to the residence, allowing only authorised individuals and vehicles to enter or leave.
The heightened security came as preparations were made for Najib’s expected return after he paid a RM50 million fine in the SRC International corruption case, fulfilling a key condition of a royal pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028.
