SNAPSHOT | What’s going on in the news today, with updates at 11am, 2pm, and 6pm.
2pm
Najib’s house arrest
- Police will be deploying a mobile station outside Najib Abdul Razak’s residence in Jalan Langgak Duta tomorrow morning as part of security preparations ahead of the former prime minister’s potential transfer from prison.
Stressing that officers are not tasked with guarding Najib (below) around the clock, Sentul district police chief Anuar Bakri Abdul Salam reportedly said the deployment is to manage security and traffic congestion during Najib’s possible return.

According to The Star, Anuar added that the mobile police station had initially arrived at the residence earlier today due to a misunderstanding, but was later withdrawn and will be redeployed at 7am tomorrow.
He also clarified that police have yet to receive confirmation on whether Najib would be brought home tomorrow to serve his house arrest, noting that he has not received any documents on whether the residence has been designated for the purpose.
In a statement today, Najib’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah said Najib’s ability to pay the conditional RM50 million fine for his transfer to house arrest partly depends on matters outside his control, as most of his assets are frozen.

- PAS election director Sanusi Nor described DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke’s decision to resign from the cabinet over Najib’s conditional pardon as “firecracker politics”.
Sanusi, who is also Kedah menteri besar, compared the move with DAP deputy chairperson Nga Kor Ming’s previous pledge to resign from the cabinet if Najib is released without serving a punishment commensurate with his offence.

“Nga said the same thing before. He didn’t resign either. They act as if they’re going to take action, but nothing gets done. It’s firecracker politics. Lots of noise, then silence,” Sanusi (above) was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.
“DAP plays flip-flop politics. Next, they’ll find an excuse not to resign. Before this, they said they wanted to leave the government. Then they found an excuse not to.”

Our WINNING Sanusi is absolutely right. DAP is very good at playing firecrackers politics to distract people from getting disappointed with them and Madani. So they just make noise everyday to give the impression that they are working hard to help Anwar to carry out Reforms and to go all out to fight corruption in the country.
Rakyat is all for DAP ditching the rhetoric administration / non reform / misled Rakyat leadership . In current situation , protect the Nation, , keep the stable government till end of term and complete the TH and FELDA investigations and cases. 1MDB has taken its course . The crooks must be booked .
We’re watching public money wasted yet again on a convicted felon whose scandals cost Malaysia over RM26 billion in losses, with taxpayers still paying interest on 1MDB’s debts. And now, instead of serving his full sentence, he’s granted house arrest until 2028 — a privilege no ordinary prisoner would ever see. Why not just keep him in jail? What’s the big deal about pampering him with house arrest? Since when does bleeding the nation dry count as “contribution to the country”? Pray tell us, Pardons Board — because right now, this looks like a cruel joke. And the real question remains: who actually benefits from this deal? Certainly not the rakyat.
