KUALA LUMPUR: A former director of SRC International Sdn Bhd reiterated at the High Court that his duty and role as a director at the company existed only in name.

Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, 54, who is testifying in SRC International’s US$1.18bil civil suit against Datuk Seri Najib Razak and its former chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, said that because of the absolute power and control exercised by the former prime minister, he was unable to perform his duty and role (as a director) in reality.
