BANGI: A trader pleaded not guilty at the Bandar Baru Bangi Magistrate’s court here to a charge of cheating the wife of an actor and comedian of over RM105,000.
Nursyafiqah Hermanshah, 27, is accused of scamming Afreena Suhaimi, 33, to transfer RM105,380 into five bank accounts in 26 transactions.
Afreena is the wife of Muhammad Nizamudin Ahmad, popularly known as Along Cham.
The offence allegedly occurred at a petrol station at Bangi Gateway, Section 15 here at 6.06 pm on Dec 22 last year and on Jan 14 at 1.24 pm.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Anis Farhah Ahmad Hilmi proposed bail at RM7,000 with one surety.
