Businessman in mineral prospecting case denies being bankrolled by S'pore tycoon

Tei, initially barred from entering Sabah upon arriving at Kota Kinabalu International Airport on Monday (Sept 22) afternoon, said the claims only surfaced after he was charged on June 30 with offering bribes to two Sabah assemblymen.
