The facts
Yeoh said on 18 September 2026 that she never signed any house arrest order and that the Pardons Board had not yet decided the matter; her office lodged a report with the authorities. The Federal Territories Pardons Board, chaired by the King, had deferred Najib's application at its 11 September meeting.
