Former store worker charged with RM1.16mil computer chip theft
BALIK PULAU: A former factory store worker was charged at the magistrate's court here today with the theft of computer chips worth RM1.157 million about four months ago. Ruhaizzat Rusol, 33, claimed trial to the charge, which was read to him before magistrate Chia Huey Ting. He is alleged to have stolen five boxes of Xilinx Virtex UltraScale chips containing 180 units valued at RM1.157 million from a locked and fenced storage area at the Jabil Plant 2 building in Bayan Lepas, around 3.30pm on April 26. The charge was framed under Section 380 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 10 years and a fine upon conviction. For a second or subsequent offence, the accused may also face whipping in addition to imprisonment and a fine. Deputy public prosecutor R. Lushani asked the court to set bail at RM10,000 with one surety. "We also request that the accused to surrender his passport to the court, given the high value of the stolen items," she said. National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer Edmund Anthony Hermon, who represented Ruhaizzat, told the court that his client was now working as an e-hailing driver. "My client's income is irregular and he is responsible for caring for his mother. "As such, we request the court to grant minimal bail," he said, adding that Ruhaizzat was unmarried. Chia then set bail at RM7,000 with one surety and fixed Sept 25 for document submission and appointment of counsel.
