Najib Expected To Pay RM50 Million For House Arrest

Former prime minister Najib Razak is reportedly expected to pay a RM50 million fine on 4 November 2026 as part of arrangements for his house arrest. A representative is expected to make the payment at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex. Najib received a conditional royal pardon in September, allowing him to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence at his Langgak Duta residence until August 2028.

Najib Expected To Settle RM50 Million Fine Before Returning Home

Former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is reportedly expected to pay a RM50 million fine on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, as part of arrangements that would allow him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. According to information attributed to a source familiar with the matter, the payment is expected to be made by a representative at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex. Following the payment, Najib is expected to return to his residence in Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, where he would continue serving his sentence. However, the report did not confirm that the payment had already been completed or that Najib had officially left prison. The development represents a significant potential change in how the former prime minister serves his remaining sentence.

Conditional Royal Pardon Allows House Arrest Until August 2028

The expected arrangement follows a conditional royal pardon granted by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, on 18 September 2026. The pardon reportedly allows Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence in the SRC International case under house arrest until 23 August 2028. Najib’s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, previously indicated that the former prime minister would be permitted to stay with his family at his residence. However, Shafee also explained that the Prison Department had instructed Najib not to publicly disclose details of the arrangement. According to the lawyer, the information was intended specifically for Najib, with concerns that public discussion could lead to speculation. The latest report suggests that arrangements for the transition are progressing, although official confirmation of his release from prison was not provided.

Najib’s SRC International Conviction Remains In Place

Najib’s imprisonment stems from his conviction in the SRC International corruption case. In July 2020, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million after being found guilty of seven charges. His prison sentence was subsequently reduced to six years in early 2024 following a decision by the Federal Territories Pardons Board. The conditional pardon announced in September 2026 concerns how Najib would serve the remainder of that sentence, rather than overturning his conviction. The reported RM50 million payment is now expected to form part of the arrangements preceding his move to house arrest. While the prospect of Najib returning home marks a major development in the case, the distinction remains important: serving a sentence under house arrest does not mean the conviction has been erased or that the remaining punishment has been cancelled.
