Former deputy chief secretary (Cabinet) Mazidah Abdul Majid says this ‘conflict of interest’ was not brought up at the Cabinet meetings. src

KUALA LUMPUR: A former government secretary told the High Court that the secretariat under the Prime Minister’s Office was not aware that Najib Razak was SRC International Sdn Bhd’s adviser.

When Shafee pointed out that Najib was SRC International’s adviser emeritus and finance minister, Mazidah said she did not know Najib was also adviser to SRC International until the memorandum of government guarantee for loans was tabled in 2011. She said based on the Cabinet meeting minutes, none of the ministers had asked Najib to leave the room when the Cabinet was discussing the issue of offering government guarantees to SRC International for the RM2 billion loan.

Mazidah said another meeting was held on Nov 6, 2015, where the Cabinet agreed that the government gave RM100 million to SRC International as a short term loan.
