"No artificial demarcation of the role of the appellant in various capacities should be entertained, as it is the appellant’s sole intention to commit crimes in the varied roles played by him in the country’s administration and in SRC," the prosecutor said in his submissions in Najib's final SRC appeal here on Thursday .Sithambaram said evidence clearly showed that Najib had arranged the affairs of SRC, whereby he was entrusted with its assets and properties.

"This occurred when he assumed the role of prime minister from the formation of SRC when he issued shareholders instructions that had to be followed by the SRC board of directors . "His role was formalised by assuming the title of advisor emeritus to entrench his commanding position in SRC, which enabled him to direct the SRC BOD as its master," he said.Article type: free
