Shop assistant charged with CBT involving RM114,000
KOTA BHARU: A shop assistant was today charged with 10 counts of criminal breach of trust for allegedly failing to hand over RM114,630.80 to a company 10 years ago, when she was a clerk there. Bibi Kasiran Mohamad, 50, claimed trial for all 10 charges allegedly committed between January and October 2015 at a ticket counter at the Lembah Sireh Bus Terminal, before Sessions Court judge Zulkifli Abllah. She was charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of between one and 14 years, whipping and a fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad suggested the court impose a bail of RM5,000 for each charge. However, the accused's lawyer, Muhammad Khairul Azwan Azhan, sought the court to impose a bail amount of RM15,000. He reasoned that his client, the accused, was currently employed as a pastry shop assistant and is a widower after her husband's death last year. "My client is only paid RM45 a day, besides taking care of her elderly parents and has no previous criminal record," he said. The court set RM18,000 for bail with one surety.
