Tycoon’s grandson denies using forged document as will

GEORGE TOWN: The grandson of the late tycoon and philanthropist N.T.S. Arumugam Pillai claimed trial in a Sessions Court on a charge of using a forged document as the will of his grandfather more than 20 years ago.

Datuk N. Vasantharajan (pic), who is also the Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) Penang president and former Queen Street Mariamman Temple committee chairman, was charged with fraudulently using a document, which he knew was or had reason to believe to be a forged document, as a genuine will of the late tycoon.
