KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today heard that RM2 million which was deposited into the account of Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd (THSB), in which Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor was the largest shareholder, was a political donation for two by-elections in 2016.
THSB chief operating officer Datuk Mohd Hasbi Jaafar, 55, said he contacted the former Federal Territories minister on June 14, 2016, and was told that the money was for the by-elections in Sungai Besar, Selangor and Kuala Kangsar, Perak.
Cross-examined by Tengku Adnan’s counsel Datuk Tan Hock Chuan on whether the accused specifically mentioned during the phone conversation that the money was a donation for the two by-elections, he replied, yes.
Counsel: As UMNO secretary-general, Tengku Adnan often made cash advances for Umno?
Witness: I did hear about it. – Bernama
