Ku Nan: I had nothing to do with FT land sale, it was all PM’s Department under BN rule
(MMO) – The controversial sale of hectares of public land to private developers in Kuala Lumpur was approved by the Prime Minister’s Department when the Barisan Nasional (BN) was in government, according to Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
The Putrajaya MP washed his hands of the matter even though the sale happened when he was the Federal Territories minister and the secretary-general of the BN, which was then led by Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
“First of all, I want to inform the members of this House that I had handed over the land problems in the Federal Territories during my tenure as minister to the Prime Minister’s Department. I had nothing to do with the land (sale) approval in the Federal Territories.
“I thank the minister for conducting his study… many say I wasn’t called in by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission but I’ve been called by the MACC 12 times and I’ve given them my statements,” Tengku Adnan, popularly known as Ku Nan, told the Dewan Rakyat today.
