KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 — Two days ago, Nor Farah Farhan Abdul Fattah was charged at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court with dishonest misappropriation of property, involving more than RM27,000 in holiday package to Korea, and today, she was brought to the Ampang Magistrate’s Court and charged with two counts of committing a similar offence and another with cheating.
On the first count, the woman and a friend, Noraini Nordin, 62, were jointly charged with dishonest misappropriation of property belonging to one Che Ajar Mat, 46, involving RM8,187 in payment for a holiday package to Korea, with the offence allegedly committed at Cimb Pandan Indah, Ampang, here at 6pm on Jan 14, 2017.
Both the women pleaded not guilty to the charge before Magistrate Haslinda A.Raof.
On the second count, Nor Farah Farhan, 36, was charged with committing a similar offence involving RM3,620 belonging to one Sabariah Mohamed, 47, in payment for a holiday package to Korea, by transferring the money into a Maybank account under the name of Syarikat Azam Impian Resources at Apartment Seri Hijau, Ukay Perdana, at 5.25pm on Feb 2, 2017.
Both the charges were made under Section 403 of the Penal Code, which provides an imprisonment for up to five years and whipping and fine, if found guilty.
On the third count, Nor Farah Farhan, who has three children, was charged with cheating one Noor Azah Aziz, 61, by deceiving the senior citizen into depositing RM16,900 into her (Nor Farah farhan) Maybank account.
The offence was allegedly committed at Lorong Mawar 1, Taman Maju Jaya, Jalan Cheras here, at 11pm on Dec 30, 2017
The charge was made under Section 417 of the Penal Code, which provides an imprisonment for up to five years, or fine, or both, if found guilty.
Nor Farah Farhan also pleaded not guilty to the second and third charge.
Deputy public prosecutor Nadiah Malek Fauzie, who prosecuted, offered Nor Farah Farhan bail of RM20,000 for all three charges, and bail of RM10,000 for Noraini.
However, lawyer Muhd Aizat Fakri, representing Nor Farah Farhan, requested for a lower bail, saying that his client was no longer working since she was detained by the police and her husband was only a supervisor at a construction site with a monthly income of RM3,000 and they had three children, including one suffering from leukaemia, to support.
The court then set bail at RM10,700 in one surety on all charges for Nor Farah Farhan and Noraini, who was unrepresented was allowed bail of RM5,000 in one surety.
The court also set March 2 and 13 for mention. — Bernama
