Malaysian court denies Najib Razak's request for house arrest during corruption sentence.

Malaysian court rejects ex-PM Najib Razak's request to serve remaining corruption sentence in house arrest. Najib, imprisoned for corruption linked to 1MDB scandal, claimed King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah issued an order permitting house arrest. His lawyer expressed disappointment with the High Court's decision, stating there is no legal duty but ethical responsibility for the government to respond.
