KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) on Friday (Nov 6) called for former prime minister Najib Razak's house arrest to be temporarily suspended, citing "complex legal questions" over the interpretation of his conditional royal pardon.
The statement came hours after Najib left Kajang Prison following the payment of his RM50 million (US$12.3 million) fine in the SRC International case, which had paved the way for him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
