1MDB TRIAL | Najib Abdul Razak’s defence team today told the High Court that it was “amazing” how former 1MDB chief executive officer Sharol Azral Ibrahim Halmi could effortlessly switch between “two masks” in his testimony.

Najib’s counsel, Wan Azwan Aiman Wan Fakhruddin, submitted that the “two masks” referred to Sharol’s alleged roles - one as the main suspect in Low Taek Jho or Jho Low’s criminal scheme as 1MDB’s CEO, and the other as the supposedly unsuspecting director of 1MDB who was purportedly unaware of his own plan.
