KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — Police maintained a presence outside former prime minister Najib Razak's residence today as speculation grew over his possible return home under a reported house arrest arrangement.

According to China Press, several police vehicles and personnel were seen stationed near the property in Jalan Langgak Duta throughout the day. Media personnel and members of the public also gathered outside the residence following widespread rumours that Najib could be transferred from prison to serve the remainder of his sentence at home.

Authorities, however, did not provide immediate confirmation on any transfer, while legal and administrative procedures were understood to still be under consideration.

Najib, who is serving a prison sentence after being convicted in the SRC International case, has been at the centre of ongoing legal proceedings and discussions regarding a purported royal addendum order related to home detention.

As of late afternoon, no transfer had taken place and officials had yet to announce any final decision. Police remained on standby while awaiting further instructions from the relevant authorities.
