Najib's condition
The Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital on Friday gave Najib Abdul Razak medical clearance to return to Kajang Prison.
It is not clear whether Najib has been transferred back to his cell, but he is due to appear in court for the 1MDB trial today.
It is also still unclear what medical condition he had that necessitated physiotherapy.
The Home Ministry has also not responded to allegations that Najib's cell had been renovated.

Zahid's victory
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was acquitted of corruption in the Foreign Visa System (VLN) case without having to enter his defence.
This came after the High Court found three key prosecution witnesses to be unreliable.
The Attorney-General's Chambers is reviewing the ruling before deciding whether or not to appeal.
Zahid also has another ongoing court case - concerning Yayasan Akalbudi - which is in the defence stage at the moment.
Meanwhile, Baling MP Azeez Abdul Rahim was also granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on his corruption case.

PN's war
PN chief Muhyiddin Yassin has declared BN to be the coalition's main enemy in GE15.
While he said all PN parties agreed to this, it contradicts PAS' declaration that Pakatan Harapan was their ”real enemy”.
BN has seized on this contradiction in an attempt to split PN.
