Not a problem, says Ku Nan when surrounded by cameras

Former minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has filed a motion to recuse the judge presiding over his RM1 million graft trial, which was supposed to commence today.

The BN secretary-general said he feared he may not receive a fair trial from Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, who meted out a sentence against businessperson Tan Boon Eng, another accused in the same trial.

Tengku Adnan said he wants his case to be transferred to another court.

Justice Nazlan then fixed for tomorrow to hear the application to recuse himself.

The motion to recuse the judge was filed in court about 4pm yesterday.

On Nov 15, last year, Tengku Adnan pleaded not guilty to a charge of corruptly receiving RM1 million from Tan, to approve an application by a company to increase the plot ratio relating to a development project along Jalan Semarak.

On the same day, Tan was charged under Section 16(b)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act 2009 for paying an RM1 million bribe to Tengku Adnan.
