KUALA LUMPUR: The defence in Najib Razak’s SRC International case today urged the High Court not to convict the former prime minister based on the “court of public opinion”.
Farhan earlier said that Najib was only acting to fulfil the national energy policy when he gave approval for the company to obtain government guarantees to secure a RM2 billion loan. “It would be exceedingly naive to equate mere enthusiasm with corrupt practice,” Farhan said, adding that Najib’s enthusiasm was backed by the recommendations of the Economic Planning Unit.
Azian also said KWAP had granted the first RM2 billion loan application to SRC International in 2011 and another RM2 billion in 2012. “As the prime minister, he was fully entitled to back the government’s initiatives, and he was entitled to expect the subordinates to notify him of any objections raised,” he added.
