00:01The defence team of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday
00:07that former SRC Director Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi's testimony largely relied on
00:14hearsay.
00:14During the hearing before Judge Datuk Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan, Najib's
00:21counsel Tansri Muhammad Shafi Abdullah repeatedly pressed Shahrol Azral over his reliance on
00:26statements allegedly made by former SRC Chief Executive Officer Nick Faisal Arif Kamil,
00:33who is currently not in the country and has not testified in the proceedings.
00:38Muhammad Shafi argued that Shahrol Azral's testimony could not be verified, describing
00:44it as double hearsay, since it quoted Nick Faisal regarding matters allegedly conveyed
00:49by Najib.
00:51He said the court had no way to confirm the accuracy of these statements.
00:54When asked if Nick Faisal was central to his defence, Shahrol Azral admitted he had not
01:00made any effort to secure Nick Faisal's attendance, despite acknowledging that he could corroborate
01:06his testimony.
01:07In his statement, Shahrol Azral claimed he acted on Nick Faisal's instructions in handling
01:13SRC documents, forms and checks, relying on the former CEO's authority and Najib's position
01:20as Prime Minister, Finance Minister and sole SRC shareholder through Minister of Finance Inc.
01:27The civil suit, filed in 2021 by SRC and Gandingan Mentari Sendirian Berhad, seeks a declaration
01:35that Najib is liable for 42 million ringgit and claims damages for knowing receipt, dishonest
01:42assistance, misfeasance in public office and abuse of power.
