At corruption trial, Tengku Adnan explains why businessman gave RM2m ‘donation’ in cheque and not cash
: Are you saying it’s difficult to get cash in a short space of time?When asked further by Tan on why Chai had made out the cheque’s recipient to be Tengku Adnan’s company, Tengku Adnan claimed that this was an advance of his own funds to his company as he had allegedly used his own money before Chai’s donation was ready.: Then my next question, the cheque.
Tengku Adnan previously said Chai promised to make a donation and later informed him that he agreed to donate RM2 million to Umno for the by-election expenses but would need time to raise funds. Tengku Adnan previously said he had asked Chia to write the RM2 million cheque out to Tadmansori Holdings as he had already used his own money first for Umno’s campaign and related by-election expenses.
Today, Tengku Adnan’s lawyer Tan informed the court that he will be applying for part of the trial proceedings involving further questions on the former minister’s assets to be heard in camera or in private before the judge without the public and media being present.
