Najib Razak's lawyers have asked for his immediate transfer home, saying the King's decree must be carried out the same day, while Umno leaders lodged police reports over the delay, Malay Mail reported on Saturday (November 7).
Reactions
Pontian Umno chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan was among the party leaders who lodged a police report over the delay in implementing Najib's house arrest order, and Dr Akmal demanded action, the report said. A separate Malay Mail story noted that security personnel were nowhere to be seen outside Najib's residence in Taman Duta, Kuala Lumpur, on November 7, a day after tight security was imposed ahead of his anticipated return under house arrest. The house arrest remains on hold, according to the headline.
Political fallout
A DAP vice-chairman said the party has yet to discuss a replacement for Transport Minister Anthony Loke, whose resignation remains conditional on Najib's house arrest, according to the photo caption. That suggests the issue could have an impact on the cabinet line-up, although no changes were announced in the excerpts reviewed.
Caution
The reports describe demands and allegations from interested parties, and the legal position is still being clarified by the AGC and the palace.
