Umno's receipt books were not under strict control, says BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor's testimony at the High Court today offered a rare glimpse into how the coalition finances its by-elections.
"However, Chai informed me that it would be difficult to raise cash in a short period of time and he instead gave me a cheque on or around June 14, 2016," he said. "This money was used for expenses including accommodation, travelling, daily allowances, food and drink, campaign materials and other incidental expenses for the Sungai Besar by-election," he said.Tengku Adnan said Zakaria used the money for the BN Youth Volunteer Project, which involved some 1,000 youths participating in the by-election campaign.
He said Chai was issued a receipt with the number 09-376241 dated June 14, 2016 by Umno for the RM2 million donation. Tengku Adnan testified that he had no need for the RM2 million as he was already wealthy even before his foray into politics.
