The Malaysian Anti -Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Muhamad Saad Borhani denied a suggestion to this effect by Tengku Adnan’s lawyer, Tan Hock Chuan.

Tan: Do you agree that the investigation started after GE14?

Saad: Yes.

Tan: I am asking on behalf of Datuk Seri (Tengku Adnan), was the investigation launched because there were elements of politics?

Saad: No.

Tan then asked Saad who filed the complaint against Tengku Adnan for allegedly receiving RM2 million.

In response, Saad said the information came from his supervisor, P Sumathi.

“The information on RM2 million came from another set of IP (investigation papers) and it was not from Chai Kin Kong or CK Lee,” he said, referring to Aset Kayamas’ director and general manager, respectively.

Saad said he and other MACC officers went to the Umno headquarters to search for documents in connection with the “political donation” and questioned several staff there.

“We found that Umno and Aset Kayamas did not have any business relationship,” he said.

He said that although they did not find any official documentation on the RM2 million “political donation”, the team was satisfied with their investigation.

“The money was paid to Tadmansori Holdings‘ bank account  so why should Umno issue a receipt?

“We also checked Tadmansori’s accounts and we did not find any payment made to Umno,” he said.

High Court judge Zaini Mazlan fixed Oct 4 and 11 to hear submissions at the end of  the prosecution‘s case.

Tengku Adnan, popularly known as Ku Nan, is accused of receiving RM2 million from Chai despite knowing that the businessman’s companies had dealings with the federal territories ministry, which was under Ku Nan at the time.

The offence was allegedly committed at the Pusat Bandar Damansara CIMB bank branch here on June 14, 2016.

The charge was framed under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which states that it is an offence for a public servant to obtain valuables without consideration.

Those found guilty can be jailed for up to two years and fined.
