Adnan, better known as Ku Nan, indicated that, for nearly two decades, that financial support was not called on but, in 1988, when he was Umno Youth treasurer, the party called on his undertaking. Ku Nan contends that the RM2 million he received was a political donation for Umno, specifically to fund the expenses of two by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar that were held on June 18, 2016. The prosecution contended that there was no proof to show a transaction of RM2 million from Tadmansori to Umno as no receipts were produced. Ku Nan said political donations were not recorded in practice to prevent details from being shared (see accompanying story). Testily, he disagreed that he had used the RM2 million for his own purposes and insisted that it was just for elections.
