KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — The prosecution told the High Court today it will furnish evidence showing Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor allegedly sought up to RM6 million from a property developer for by-election funds and received RM2 million. Deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim was reading the opening statement at the start of former minister Tengku Adnan’s trial for allegedly taking a RM2 million bribe from developer Aset Kayamas’s director, Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong.
“Evidence will show the accused asked for contribution from Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong amounting to RM5-RM6 million for by-election use,” the DPP told the court today. Julia said the prosecution would also present evidence that Chai gave RM2 million in a Hong Leong Islamic Bank cheque dated June 14, 2016 owned by Aset Kayamas to Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd.This was not specified by the prosecution, but at the time of the alleged offence, Tengku was then Umno’s secretary-general. He is now the Umno treasurer.
