Ku Nan pocketed RM2mil ‘political donation’, says judge in dissenting ruling

[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA: The High Court in Tengku Adnan Mansor’s corruption trial made a correct finding that the former federal territories minister pocketed RM2 million as there is no evidence that he or his company channelled the money received from a businessman as political donation to Umno.

Court of Appeal judge Abu Bakar Jais said it was also untrue for Tengku Adnan, better known as Ku Nan, to claim the money was given as a political donation and not for him personally.

The judge said this was because it was never proven there was any record that Umno was given the money.

Aset Kayamas Sdn Bhd director Chai Kin Kong had personally delivered a cheque a few days before the Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar by-elections to Ku Nan.

The money was deposited into the bank account of Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd, owned by Ku Nan.
