Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is reportedly not allowed to live with his family members while under house arrest at his Taman Duta residence
In a Threads reply yesterday, 10 November, Wanita UMNO executive council member Datuk Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid said Najib's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, is not allowed to live with him at their Kuala Lumpur house at No 11, Jalan Langgak Duta.
She was responding to an online comment asking Nurulhidayah, who is also Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's daughter, whether Najib could live with his family during his house arrest.
"Kak Long, how does this house arrest work? Family or grandchildren can visit, right? But bossku cannot leave the house, yeah? Ordering Foodpanda is allowed, right?" asked the netizen.
In response, Nurulhidayah explained that Najib's house has been gazetted as a prison, meaning his wife and children are not allowed to live within the compound.
"His wife and children are not living with him. Rosmah is staying at Pavilion.
"Even if they want to visit, there are designated visiting hours just like for people in prison.
"Thank you for asking because you want to know. It's tiring reading slander from all these know-it-alls. Oh yes. Food and drinks are all determined by the prison," said Nurulhidayah.

Najib arrived home at around 9.27pm last night after spending more than four years, or 50 months, in prison since August 2022.
Shafee also said last month that the Prison Department had instructed Najib not to share the details of his house arrest with the public or the press, as the information was intended only for him.
"He cannot disclose the content; it is only for him. Because they said if you disclose the content, the public and the press will later start making up all sorts of stories. Everybody will discuss that matter," Shafee told reporters on 14 October.
In July 2020, Najib was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million after being convicted on seven corruption charges in the SRC International case.
His prison sentence was subsequently reduced by half to six years in early 2024 following a decision by the Federal Territories Pardons Board.
On 18 September, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, granted Najib a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest until 23 August 2028.
