It is illogical for the former board of directors of SRC International to keep mum about the company’s financial matters over the imagined fear that they might be fired, said Najib Abdul Razak’s defence counsel, Farhan Shafee.

Farhan (above) further added that such fear could not be used as a duress to prevent the board from investigating further into loans and investment matters, instead of solely relying on representations made by Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, who was SRC’s former chief executive officer and is still at large.
