KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — A retail chain company chief executive officer and its director pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of cheating a sales manager of cash, totalling RM150,000.
Kopais Konsortium (M) Sdn Bhd CEO, Mohd Syawaludin Siran, 37, and director, Rosinah Ahad, 25, are jointly charged with cheating Noorzita Baharudin, 47, a sales manager at Medicoptic Supplies Sdn Bhd, by deceiving her into believing that they could sell her the business premises of the 24-hour Station Rakyat convenience store at Plaza Usahawan Crystal Ville, Taman Danau Kota, Setapak.
This prompted Noorzita to hand them the deposit payment for the purchase of the premises, made through three cheques for RM150,000 into Kopias’ Maybank account.
Mohd Syawaludin and Rosinah were alleged to have committed the offence at Jalan Wangsa Delima 1A, KLSC 3, Wangsa Maju here at 11am on January 7 this year.
They were arrested last September 5.
Judge Mat Ghani Abdullah allowed them bail of RM10,000 in one surety each and set October 11 for mention.
Prosecution was conducted by prosecuting officer ASP Zulkifli Osman. — Bernama
