KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Former 1Malaysia Development Berhad CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi told the High Court here Tuesday (Oct 8) that he had no opportunity to tell the then-Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin that he had no experience in financial matters.

He said that his appointment as CEO of Terengganu Investment Authority Berhad (TIA) - which was later renamed 1MDB - was decided by people above him, namely the TIA board and the stakeholders being the federal and state government.
