KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — The High Court has directed the Court Registrar to issue a new order that would finally allow Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak to serve the remaining sentence of his first corruption conviction at home.
High Court Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin issued the new warrant of release after hearing submissions by both Najib’s lawyers and the Deputy Public Prosecutors this afternoon.
Judge Aslam said the new order simply cancels the November 5 order and replaced with one that allows Najib to serve the remaining sentence from the said conviction at home.
Najib, in a light blue baju melayu top with sleeves rolled up, was present at the hearing alongside his daughter Najwa, who was also in a blue floral baju kurung.
