SEREMBAN: A woman claimed trial in the Sessions Court here to a charge of criminal breach of trust involving RM199,491 belonging to a cooperative where she was previously employed as a clerk.
Noorazwin Zullkifli, 36, pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to her before judge Mohamad Kamil Nizam.
The mother of three young children was charged with committing the offence between Feb 2, 2023 and March 22, 2024 at the Kg LBJ Johnson Cooperative office in Bandar Enstek, Nilai.
She had allegedly transferred the cash into her account online using a point of sale terminal belonging to the cooperative.
The accused was charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of between one and 14 years upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Syamimi Farhana Muhammad A. Aziz told the court that her team was proposing bail of RM30,000 in one surety pending remention.
Noorazwin’s lawyer Ahmad Muzhaffar Abdul Razak pleaded for a lower bail as the accused had to provide for her children with a monthly salary of RM1,800 from her job at a convenience store.
Mohamad Kamil set bail at RM12,000 in one surety and ordered the accused to surrender her passport to the court, report at the nearest police station once a month until her case is disposed of, and stay away from the witnesses.
He also fixed Sept 9 for remention.
