Ku Nan to surrender passport

PUTRAJAYA: Former Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, who is facing two charges of receiving bribes totalling RM3mil, has failed to set aside the order for him to surrender his passport to the court.

This follows a unanimous decision by the three-man bench of the Court of Appeal yesterday to dismiss Tengku Adnan’s appeal against the decision by Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali on Jan 28.

Justice Datuk Umi Kalthum Abdul Majid, who led the bench, said the panel was not persuaded that the High Court judge had wrongly exercised his discretion in rejecting Tengku Adnan’s application not to surrender his passport. — Bernama
