Felda employee charged with CBT
KUANTAN: A Felda administrative assistant has been charged in the Sessions Court here with criminal breach of trust involving a death benefit fund amounting to RM41,652.42.
Nurul Syafiha Awang Za, 33, from Marang, Terengganu, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge before judge Datuk Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain yesterday.
She was accused of committing the offence by pocketing the death benefit payouts for the next-of-kin of seven settlers that were entrusted to her at Felda Sungai Panching
Timur office between February 2018 and June 2019.
The mother of three, who has been suspended from work, was charged under Section 406 of the Penal Code, which provides imprisonment for up to 10 years with whipping and a fine, if convicted.
Judge Ahmad Zamzani allowed the accused, who was unrepresented, bail of RM5,000 in one surety and ordered her to report to the nearest Malaysian Anti-corruption Commission office once a month.
The court fixed Dec 22 for mention.
