Malaysian politician Tengku Adnan Mansor has been found guilty of graft, two weeks after a separate corruption trial involving the member of parliament was halted following a prosecutor’s call for a discharge not amounting to acquittal.
The Monday verdict came just days after Malaysia’s hotly debated 2021 budget was narrowly passed, raising questions as to whether Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin ’s slim two-vote parliamentary majority will now be further weakened.
Tengku Adnan was on Monday sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined 2 million ringgit (S$662,100), with the judge allowing a stay of execution pending appeal.
