SRC International directors were appointed to follow Najib's orders, says witness


KUALA LUMPUR: The board of directors at SRC International Sdn Bhd was appointed to execute the wishes of the company's shareholder, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the High Court was told.

SRC International's former director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail, 59, testified that it was typical for a newly established company's board of directors (BOD) to be given a 'blank slate' to run their operations, allowing them to use their expertise and opinions to decide the company's direction and determine which government-to-government endeavours to pursue.
