Court

CEO accountability is under scrutiny as former 1MDB chief executive Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi returns to the witness stand, with defence lawyers questioning where responsibility lies for decisions that led to the fund’s multibillion-ringgit losses.

During the 1MDB Civil Trial, Liquidator Angela Barkhouse told the High Court that her team traced allegedly misappropriated 1MDB funds through a complex network of 29 offshore entities, while acknowledging that her findings were based on a retrospective reconciliation and that she could not confirm the final total amount recovered.

Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah questioned the basis of the government's RM24 billion civil suit against Datuk Seri Najib Razak after revealing that more than RM31 billion linked to 1MDB had already been recovered by authorities.

The Court of Appeal has fixed timelines for Rosmah Mansor’s application to adduce fresh evidence in her solar hybrid project appeal, with the motion tentatively set to be heard on 1 September — the date previously reserved for the start of her substantive appeal.

Bekas CEO 1MDB Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi bahawa bekas perdana menteri Najib Razak tidak mengurus secara mikro SRC International atau 1MDB dan tidak pernah mengarahkannya mempengaruhi keputusan lembaga pengarah.

Former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi told the High Court that SRC International decisions were not micromanaged by former prime minister Najib Razak, agreeing he had never been instructed to direct the board on corporate matters.

The Attorney General’s Chambers has withdrawn its appeal in the money-laundering proceedings involving Rosmah Mansor, bringing an end to years of litigation and marking the conclusion of a closely watched chapter in her legal journey.

After a week of submissions, Najib Razak’s defence team dismantled the prosecution’s claims, exposing contradictions, hearsay evidence and glaring double standards — from the verified Saudi donation to the real culprits who remain free.

The Attorney General’s belated admission after 527 days that a Royal Addendum exists – decreeing former Prime Minister Najib Razak should serve his sentence under house arrest – has sparked outrage, with senior lawyers warning that this debacle is a ticking time bomb for the Madani government, creating the impression it has something to hide.

After years of delays and legal setbacks, justice has finally prevailed for Dato’ Sri Najib Razak. The former Prime Minister was granted a Discharge Not Amounting to an Acquittal (DNAA) in the long-standing RM27 million SRC 2.0 money laundering case, bringing an end to his drawn-out legal battle.

In a recent development that has captured the nation's attention, the silence of former Attorney General Tan Sri Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh and his successor, Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar, regarding the purported house arrest addendum for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has become a focal point of public and legal scrutiny.

As Najib Razak takes legal aim at the former Attorney General over an alleged cover-up involving a Royal Addendum Order, the controversy is set to spark deeper debate at this Saturday’s Townhall Rakyat on law, justice, and constitutional rights.
