Prisons Department Handles Najib House Arrest Security, Says IGP

The Prisons Department is fully responsible for security arrangements for Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during his house arrest at his Langgak Duta residence, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said on Wednesday (Nov 11).

The former prime minister has been serving the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest at his Kuala Lumpur home since Tuesday (Nov 10), Bernama reported.

Najib House Arrest Security

Mohd Khalid said the police, as a law enforcement agency, maintained close cooperation with the Prisons Department to make sure the security requirements were met.

He said that because the house falls under the Sentul District Police Headquarters (IPD), he had instructed the district police to carry out inspections and provide security monitoring from time to time.

He was speaking to reporters after officiating at the 2026 PDRM Integrity Month celebration in Kuala Lumpur.

Police Assisting Prisons Department

Mohd Khalid said police had assigned several officers to assist the Prisons Department throughout the period Najib serves the rest of his sentence at home.

On Tuesday, Najib began serving the remainder of his sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case under house arrest after the High Court ruled that the order should take effect immediately, according to Bernama. Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin made the decision after setting aside an order issued by the High Court Criminal Registry on Nov 6.

Calm Outside Langgak Duta Residence

The Star reported that the situation outside the Jalan Langgak Duta house was relatively calm on Wednesday, Najib’s first full day of house arrest, with two vehicles with heavily tinted windows seen entering the compound. Their occupants could not be confirmed but were believed to be visiting family members, the paper said.

Police officers were also seen stopping and questioning drivers trying to access the road leading to the house, while police vehicles occasionally entered and left the residence, according to the report.
