Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been transferred from prison to his Kuala Lumpur home, where he will now be under house arrest.

The move follows his conviction and sentencing, which saw him removed from the high‑security facility in which he had been serving his term.

Under the new arrangement, Razak will remain confined to his residence, subject to the conditions set out in his court order.

Details of the specific restrictions and monitoring arrangements have not been released by authorities.

The transfer was confirmed by officials in Kuala Lumpur, who said the former leader would continue to serve the remainder of his sentence from home.
