KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak is present as the High Court hears the application for a new order to allow the former prime minister to serve his first jail sentence 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 in a blue floral baju kurung.

The former prime minister was set to serve the remaining two years of his jail sentence from the corruption conviction involving SRC International last Friday, after his lawyers said he had paid the RM50 million fine as part of his conditional pardon.

The AGC, however, delayed his release from Kajang Prison, claiming it needed clarification because the November 6 court order was unclear and possibly defective.

The High Court is expected to issue a new warrant to release Najib from Kajang Prison this afternoon itself.
