KUALA LUMPUR — July 19, 2019: A receipt given to a company managing director by former minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor was dated on November last year although what was claimed to be a donation was made in 2016.
This discrepancy was based on the sequence of the receipt numbers from an Umno official receipt book obtained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission when its officers went to the party’s headquarters at the Putra World Trade Centre yesterday.
The receipt was made out to Aset Kayamas MD Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong for what is claimed to be a RM2 million political donation to Umno and the subject of the corruption trial implicating the minister widely known as Ku Nan.
At the start of today’s proceedings, Judge Zaini Mazlan allowed the prosecution to call in an additional witness (Nik Muhamad Faiez of the MACC) to testify following the revelation of the receipt in court two days ago and said that the court cannot stop the prosecution from calling new witnesses.
The trial continues on August 1. — Bernama
