Former 1MDB CEO doesn't know why allegations in separate suit changed, court hears

Lawyer also grills Shahrol on 1MDB’s accusations against him.

Former Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi testified in the High Court that he was unaware of why 1MDB had accused him of fraud in a separate suit filed in August 2021, during a trial related to the company's US$5.64 billion civil suit against eight defendants, including former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

G.K. Ganesan, representing Kelvin Tan Kay Jin, asked Shahrol Azral about the allegations made against him in the August 2021 suit, to which Shahrol Azral responded that he had no credibility as a witness for 1MDB's claims.
