‘SRC directors did not have free rein’

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 is typical for a newly established company’s board of directors (BOD) to be given a “blank slate” for them to run their operations, which would allow them to use their expertise and opinions to decide the company’s direction and determine which government-to-government endeavours to pursue.
