The Court of Appeal is set to hear on Jan 6 a bid by Najib to overturn a lower court decision in July that struck out his request to confirm the existence of and execute a royal order entitling him to serve his sentence under house arrest. "If any party wishes to propose that any prisoner, including Najib Razak, serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest, an application should be submitted for consideration by the pardons board chaired by the king, according to established legal procedures and channels," the office said.
