A Malaysian judge rejected former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's request to serve the remainder of his six-year prison sentence under house arrest for corruption linked to the 1MDB scandal. The court ruled there is no legal provision for house arrest in Malaysia and dismissed his judicial review application.

• Najib is currently serving a six-year jail term, reduced from 12 years, for siphoning 42 million ringgit ($9.9 million) from an 1MDB subsidiary.
• The presiding judge was Judge Alice Loke Yee Ching, who stated that a "royal addendum" was not a valid order for house arrest.
• Najib faces a separate verdict this week for charges involving 2.28 billion ringgit ($554 million) from 1MDB funds and 21 counts of money laundering, which could extend his sentence significantly.
