SRC had initially requested for a RM3.95 billion loan from KWAP in 2011. KWAP decided to only approve RM1 billion, citing the original requested amount as an 'overconcentration' of money to just one company in one industry.
Wan Abdul Aziz, 67, is the 45th prosecution witness to take the stand today and testify in the SRC trial as it enters its 35th day.
"There, Azlin gave me a letter which was signed by SRC director Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil dated June 3, 2011 [addressed] to Najib seeking for a loan of RM3.95 billion."
He repeated this three times during questioning by deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Saifuddin Hashim Musaimi about payments of RM27 million and RM5 million on Dec 26, 2014 and a payment of RM10 million made on Feb 10, 2015.
"The reason for the transfer is recorded as 'CSR (corporate social responsibility) programmes'. I recognised the remittance form as I prepared the document," the witness said.
Najib and Mohd Irwan are jointly facing six charges of criminal breach of trust involving RM6.64 billion of government funds for payments to IPIC.
Amirah, the 34th prosecution witness, insisted that she had willingly said in her statement that the two RM2 billion loans to SRC was amongst the largest she had seen during her tenure in KWAP. "I wanted to put this," she said, before Harvinderjit ended his cross-examination.
The forfeiture action is against assets said to be from funds illegally gained from 1MDB.
This includes the RM42 million said to be channelled into the bank accounts of former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is facing seven charges in relation to the misappropriation of SRC funds.
