Quick Summary

A Malaysian court has allowed Najib to begin serving his remaining prison sentence under house arrest. Last week, Najib was scheduled to be transferred from jail for this purpose but the transfer was halted following an intervention by the attorney general. On Tuesday, the attorney general filed a legal application with the court to reconsider the order permitting Najib’s house arrest.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
