Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan bin Tengku Mansor (born 20 December 1950) is a Malaysian politician. He is the Malaysian Minister of the Federal Territories. He was the Malaysian Minister of Tourism from 2006 to 2008, and he was appointed as the Secretary-General of United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) following the resignation of Dato' Seri Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad on 20 March 2008.
Born in Malacca, Malaysia, Adnan obtained a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Mara Technology Institute (Malay: Institut Teknologi Mara, ITM), which is now known as Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malay: Universiti Teknologi Mara, UiTM), and a BBA from the University of Southern California.
Adnan held important positions in the corporate sector, such as Director and Chairman of Far East Asset (FEA) and Chairman of UNZA Holdings Bhd.
He is of Acehnese descent. However, on Christopher Buyers website of royal genealogy, question arises on his Tengku royal title: "eldest son of Mansor bin Haji Baba (a.k.a. Tengku Muhammad Mansor bin Tengku Haji Baba), a gentleman of Tamil (or claimed Acehnese Teuku origin??) origin, who assumed the title of Tengku two years after his son".
Adnan is married to Datin Seri Enny Beatrice Ferlat Kusumo Anggraini. They have two sons and four daughters; Iqbal, Natasya, Hafiz, Nadira, Najwa and Nabila. Adnan has two sons and two daughters from his previous marriage; Daud, Balqish, Yazir and Nadiah.
Adnan joined politics in the early 1980s. He became Treasurer of the UMNO Youth wing in 1988. He was elected to the UMNO Supreme Council in 1993 but lost the position in 1996. He was appointed as Federal Territory liaison chairman in June 2000. On 29 November 2001, he was appointed the Chairman of the Federal Territory Barisan Nasional. In 2003, he was appointed the Chief of the Putrajaya UMNO, and later he won the position again uncontested in the party election in June 2004. In September 2004, he was successful in a bid for an UMNO Supreme Council seat.
