KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 – The Prisons Department is responsible for managing the security arrangements for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during his house arrest.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the department oversees security at Najib’s residence in Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur.
However, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) continues to work closely with the department. This cooperation helps ensure that all security requirements remain in place.
Police to Monitor Najib’s Residence
Mohd Khalid said the Sentul District Police Headquarters (IPD) has jurisdiction over the area where Najib’s house is located.
He has instructed the district police to conduct regular inspections and monitor security at the residence.
PDRM has also assigned several officers to assist the Prisons Department throughout Najib’s house arrest period.
The IGP explained these arrangements to reporters after officiating at the 2026 PDRM Integrity Month celebration in Kuala Lumpur.
Najib Begins House Arrest
Najib began serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest on Nov 10.
The arrangement relates to his conviction in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that the house arrest order should take effect immediately.
Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin made the decision after setting aside an earlier order issued by the High Court Criminal Registry on Nov 6.
Najib, 73, will therefore serve the remaining part of his sentence at his Langgak Duta residence.
The Prisons Department remains responsible for his security arrangements, while PDRM provides support through monitoring and inspections.
