SHAH ALAM: A company managing director has pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to three counts of using a falsified Immigration Department receipt two years ago.
VP Rajeswary, 44, of R Global Pro Solution (M) Sdn Bhd (RGPS), entered the plea after the charges were read out separarely to him before Sessions judge Datuk Mohd Nasir Nordin on Friday (March 14).
She was accused of using falsified receipts dated July 3, 11 and 13, 2023, as genuine at the company's office in Semenyih on July 27 that year.
The charges were framed under Section 471 of the Penal Code, punishable under Section 465 of the same law. The offence carries a maximum jail term of two years, a fine, or both upon conviction.
Prosecuting officer Mohd Hanafi Firdhaus Abd Latif proposed bail of RM20,000, matching the amount previously set for the accused by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Monday (March 10).
He also requested that the case be transferred to the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, as Rajeswary was already facing two charges of using falsified documents there.
Her lawyer C. Paul did not object to the application.
The court allowed the requests and set April 16 for the case to be mentioned in Kuala Lumpur.
On Monday, Rajeswary pleaded not guilty before judge Rosli Ahmad to two counts of using falsified documents related to the supply of foreign worker quotas. The offences were allegedly committed on May 27 and July 6, 2023.
According to the charge sheet, she was accused of committing both offences at the office of HR Assistant Solution Sdn Bhd (HRAS) in Jalan Desa Bahagian, Kuala Lumpur.
For the first charge, Rajeswary was accused of using a Human Resources Ministry quota approval slip dated May 3, 2023, which she allegedly knew was falsified. The second charge involved the use of a forged Immigration Department receipt.
The Kuala Lumpur court granted Rajeswary bail of RM20,000 with one surety, and ordered her to report once a month to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya. – Bernama
