KUALA LUMPUR: Former Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor told the High Court he sold most of his firms worth hundreds of millions of ringgit to become a “debt-free” minister.

Tengku Adnan, 69, said he told then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he was working for several companies and agreed to sell several of them before becoming a full minister.
