KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court was told that the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) had failed to submit a summons on the company’s financial statements against former SRC International Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, former non-executive director of SRC Datuk Suboh Md Yassin, and Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd.
CCM prosecuting officer Fazarul Ezhar Mohd Mokhtar said he had received a directive from the deputy public prosecutor that the three persons should be given a discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA).
He told judge Manira Mohd Nor that the prosecution would re-file the suit at a later date.
They have to submit the annual financial statement for the year 2017 to CCM.
A subsidiary of SRC, Gandingan Mentari, Nik Faisal, and Suboh were charged with failing to submit the 2017 Financial Statement within 30 days as required by the commission under Section 68 (1) of the Companies Act 2016.
On June 20, Suboh was summoned as a prosecution witness to testify at the trial of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is facing three counts of criminal breach of trust, one count of abusing his position and three counts of money laundering involving SRC funds amounting to RM42 million.
During the SRC trial, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) senior assistant commissioner, Rosli Husain told the High Court that he failed to get the original minutes of meetings of SRC for 2013 because its former Chief Executive Officer Nik Faisal Ariff had fled overseas. - Bernama
