KAJANG: Police have beefed up security and monitoring around the entrance of Kajang prison, where former prime minister Najib Razak was sent yesterday evening to serve his sentence.
Kajang police chief Zaid Hassan said the area around the prison compound was under control.
“The situation is under control,” he told Bernama last night, although he would not say how many personnel were being deployed.
He said police had only increased security outside the prison entrance, while prison authorities were in charge of security inside the jail.
Najib was taken to Kajang prison shortly after 6.45pm after the Federal Court upheld his conviction and 12-year prison sentence as well as a fine of RM210 million for misappropriating RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.
