Question

Accepted Answer

Datuk Seri Najib Razak Gave Instructions to Former 1MDB CEO Shahrol Azral

The High Court heard that former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi took instructions directly from Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who held the finance minister portfolio at the time. Former finance minister II Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah testified that Najib Razak had the ultimate decision-making power for 1MDB and explicitly instructed him to stay out of the company's affairs.
Najib Razak's Authority Over 1MDB

As the then-prime minister and concurrently holding the finance minister portfolio, Datuk Seri Najib Razak possessed the authority to make decisions concerning 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Ahmad Husni's testimony indicated that Najib's position granted him control over the state investment fund.
Instructions Issued to Shahrol Azral

During his testimony, Ahmad Husni confirmed that the former 1MDB CEO, Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, received instructions from Najib Razak. This direct line of command highlights Najib's central role in the operations and decision-making processes within 1MDB.
Ahmad Husni's Lack of Decision-Making Power

Ahmad Husni further clarified that he himself did not hold decision-making power regarding 1MDB. He recounted instances where Najib had instructed him not to interfere in 1MDB matters, such as initial concerns raised about proceeding with company formations without feasibility studies in early 2009, and later regarding the joint venture investment with PetroSaudi International in late 2009.
