Teluk Intan headmistress fined RM10,000 for using fake document to buy a piano


IPOH: A headmistress in Teluk Intan was fined RM10,000 in default one month in jail by the Sessions Court here for using a forged document to buy equipment for her primary school in 2021.

Rosnah Mat Zain, 57, who was not represented, admitted to an alternative charge under Section 471 of the Penal Code, punishable under Section 465 of the same Code.

According to the charge, Rosmah, who was SK Convent Teluk Intan headmistress, had on Dec 9, 2021 used an invoice from a company dated Dec 6 to pay for a digital piano and bench worth RM10,200.

She was said to have done this while having reason to believe that the document was forged.

After imposing sentence on Wednesday (Sept 11), Sessions judge Datuk Ibrahim Osman said he hoped the accused, as a civil servant, would be careful and repent.

"This is just the law of this world.

"We do not know what will happen in the hereafter," he said.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) public prosecutor Sharul Azuan Ghazali and DPP Maziyah Mansor prosecuted.
