  #KiniNews: Court rejects Najib's bid to stay 1MDB sentence; 'He can't disclose house arrest terms' 14.10.2026 8хв

  KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak won't get to stay at home for long if he can pay the RM50 million fine needed for him to be transferred to house arrest.This is because the Kuala Lumpur High Court today rejected his application to postpone the execution of his sentences for 1MDB-related charges.This means that - pending further appeals - when Najib's SRC International sentence ends on Aug 23, 2028, he will have to go back to prison.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Najib's lawyer Shafee Abdullah confirmed today that his client had received the Prison Department’s standard operating procedures (SOP) for the implementation of his house arrest.However, Shafee stated that Najib was told by the department not to disclose the details to the public and the press.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

  #KiniNews: Azalina responds to Rayer; Umno not involved in N Sembilan royalty dispute, says Asyraf 13.10.2026 8хв

  KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] As DAP turns up the heat on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over his 47 corruption charges, amid increasingly strained ties between the two parties, Azalina Othman Said has delivered a pointed lesson in prosecutorial powers to fellow lawyer RSN Rayer.The Umno information chief, herself a lawyer and minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform), reminded the DAP lawmaker that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is not the attorney-general and has no authority to decide who should be hauled back to court.Urging the Jelutong MP to respect the attorney-general’s constitutional position and powers, Azalina stressed that prosecutorial decisions must be guided by legal considerations, facts and evidence, rather than political pressure.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Umno has denied involvement in the ongoing crisis plaguing the Negeri Sembilan royal and customary institution.The denial, reiterated by party secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, came amid claims of the BN linchpin’s alleged complicity in the dispute over the state’s royal succession, which has spilled over to the state’s administration.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
