Former Minister Charged with RM3 Million Graft for Alleged Position Abuse

Former Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor faces charges of abusing his position to allegedly obtain RM3 million from businessmen. These funds were reportedly linked to the sale of land owned by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the approval of development applications. Tengku Adnan has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Allegations of Receiving RM1 Million for Plot Ratio Approval

One of the charges centres on an alleged RM1 million received via cheque from Tan Eng Boon on December 27, 2013. This payment is said to have been a reward for approving an application by Nucleus Properties Sdn Bhd (now Paragon City Development Sdn Bhd). The approval pertained to an increase in the plot ratio for the development of Lot 228, Jalan Semarak. The charge was brought under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
Accusation of Accepting RM2 Million Linked to Company Accounts

A second charge involves an alleged RM2 million received via cheque from Chai Kin Kong on June 14, 2016. This sum was reportedly deposited from an Aset Kayamas account into an account belonging to Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd. Tengku Adnan is accused of knowing that both accounts were of his interest and connected to his official duties as a minister at the time. This offence is also framed under graft provisions.
Bail Set at RM1 Million

Following his arraignment, Tengku Adnan was granted bail amounting to RM1 million. This bail was secured with two sureties. The legal proceedings involved a defence team led by Datuk Tan Hock Chuan, Datuk S. Satharuban, Quek Ming Sen, and Kee Shu Min, while Datuk Umar Saifuddin Jaafar led the prosecution.
