PETALING JAYA: The legal affairs division of the Prime Minister’s Department says it has not received any addendum from Istana Negara allowing Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest.

The division, which serves as the secretariat of the Federal Territories Pardons Board (FTPB), said this followed checks on its official records.

“We confirm that no additional document or addendum is in our official files or records under the Prime Minister’s Department’s legal affairs division.

“Neither did we receive any official order or notification from Istana Negara regarding the matter,” it said in a statement.

It also said it does not deal with law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said as secretariat of the FTPB.
