Tengku Adnan is currently on trial for allegedly receiving a bribe of RM2 million from a businessman, with Tengku Adnan’s lawyer Datuk Tan Hock Chuan this morning explaining that it was necessary to present the details of Tengku Adnan’s past asset declarations to the prime minister to show that he did not need to take the RM2 million for himself as he was already a wealthy man.
Following the court’s rejection for a private hearing or in camera hearing of the asset details, Tan then said he would ask Tengku Adnan limited details about the asset declarations. Previously, Tengku Adnan had in his witness statement — in his own defence in this trial — stated that he was asked to make a declaration of assets to the prime minister in 2001 when he joined the Cabinet for the first time as a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.
