KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 17): Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor told the court today he was a successful businessman man prior to being a minister and so "did not need" the RM2 million alleged kickback he got from a businessman in 2016, which he said was just a political donation to Umno.

Tengku Adnan, also known as Ku Nan, was reading from his witness statement as he took the stand at the High Court here to defend himself against a bribery charge levelled against him over the money he received from Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong, the managing director of Aset Kayamas Sdn Bhd.
