UMNO pays a RM50 million fine on behalf of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, enabling him to serve the remainder of his sentence for the SRC International case under home detention. Multiple outlets report the payment is completed through the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, clearing a condition tied to the home-detention arrangement.
BH Berita Harian emphasises party action and frames it through supportive political language, noting UMNO’s decision as evidence of loyalty toward Najib (Article 1) and later describing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s response as respect for UMNO’s move (Article 3). myMetro focuses more narrowly on the fact that the fine has been paid, citing a lawyer and reporting the completion of payment at the court registry (Article 2). BH also reiterates the timing and that UMNO confirms the process has been settled before the home-detention period begins (Article 4). Across coverage, the central common point is the completion of the RM50 million payment to the High Court as the procedural step that allows Najib’s home detention.
