The question of whether the wife and family members of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak can live with him while he serves the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest remains up in the air.

Najib’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah also admitted that they do not yet know the actual conditions regarding the matter.

Shafee said his team has not received any certainty as to whether family members are allowed to reside with Najib at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, or receive permission for visitation sessions.

“I do not know. I imagine perhaps some family members might be allowed, but perhaps not. We do not know,” he told reporters after proceedings at the Kuala Lumpur High Court yesterday.
