KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram has described the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) board of directors (BOD) as “bunch of toothless tigers” as they failed to protect and advise then Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak over company matters.
The former Federal Court judge leading the prosecution team in the trial of Najib, who is facing four corruption charges involving RM2.3bil worth of 1MDB funds and 21 money laundering charges involving the same amount, suggested this when querying former 1MDB non-executive director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail, 57.
