KUALA LUMPUR: The former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) chief executive officer earned RM99,000 a month as his last drawn salary, the High Court here has been told.

Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi said his starting salary when appointed to 1MDB's precursor Terengganu Investment Authority Bhd back in March 2009 was around RM80,000.

“I don't remember the exact yearly increment, but my last drawn salary was RM99,000 before tax, ” he replied during examination-in-chief in the 1MDB trial on Tuesday .Asked if he received any bonuses, Shahrol said the quantum was determined by the 1MDB board of director's remuneration committee, and was dependant on the KPI set the year before and tabled to the board.

“I was very excited and I recalled during that conversation I impolitely cut off Najib a number of times as he was asking his questions, because I knew what he was asking, I had the answers, and I was very pleased to be speaking to him.” he said. He added that several days later fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, mentioned that call to him and said that “boss was pleased” that Shahrol seemed to be on top of things, referring to Najib.
