> Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is set to serve the rest of his reduced six-year sentence under house arrest after his party, UMNO, raised 50 million ringgit to pay his fine. His house arrest does not cover a separate 15-year sentence from a second 1MDB-related trial, which he is appealing.
