KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 21): Questions surrounding the receipt issued by Umno for the RM2 million donation by businessman Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong and the fact that there was no money transferred from Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor-controlled Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd to Umno were the crucial factors that led to the former minister's conviction today in his graft case.
High Court judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said Chai, who had known Tengku Adnan for many years, had demonstrated his biasness in favour of the ex-minister with regard to the receipt.
"I will therefore disregard his testimony only in respect of the Umno receipt," he said in his 87-page judgement.
