KUALA LUMPUR: It’s a fallacy to think a wealthy person is incapable of committing wrong for financial gains, said Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan in delivering his judgment on Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, better known as Ku Nan.
The High Court judge found the former minister guilty of receiving RM2mil for himself from a property developer and sentenced him to 12 months in jail along with a RM2mil fine.
The subject of Tengku Adnan’s wealth was highlighted in Justice Zaini’s 87-page judgment.
“The accused maintained he is a man of means. I accept the accused’s contention that he did not intend to brag when declaring his worth and that he merely wanted to assert that RM2mil was not an amount that would entice him.
