Individuals sentenced to more than 10 years in prison will not be eligible for house arrest under the proposed new law, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

In his winding-up speech on Budget 2025 in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Nov 7), the Home Minister explained that the House Arrest Bill, introduced by his ministry, aims to address issues related to remand detainees, not convicted individuals.

In response to a question from Kota Bharu MP Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan on whether an alleged addendum on house arrest linked to former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s partial pardon existed, Saifuddin clarified that the courts had ruled the addendum as hearsay.
