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.

KOTA BHARU: A former bus ticketing clerk pleaded not guilty today to 10 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM114,630.80 in unremitted ticket sales from 2015. Bibi Kasiran Mohamad, 50, was accused of failing to hand over proceeds ranging from RM7,000 to over RM18,000 per transaction while working at Lembah Sireh Bus Terminal. The charges were read before Sessions Court Judge Zulkifli Abdullah.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad did not offer bail but suggested RM5,000 per charge if considered. Defence counsel Muhammad Khairul Azwan Azhan requested lower bail, citing his client's financial struggles, health issues, and family responsibilities. 'My client earns RM45 daily at a kuih stall and cares for elderly parents. This is her first offence,' he said. The court set bail at RM18,000 with one surety and scheduled the next mention for August 28.

Ex-ticketing clerk claims trial to 10 counts of CBT involving RM114,630
KOTA BARU: A former bus ticketing clerk pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to 10 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving ticket sales of RM114,630.80 at the Lembah Sireh Bus Terminal a decade ago. Bibi Kasiran Mohamad, 50, entered the plea on Sunday (June 29) after the charges were read before Judge Zulkifli Abllah. She is accused of allegedly failing to remit ticket sales proceeds ranging from RM7,000 to over RM18,000 per transaction to a bus company, between January and October 2015. The single mother, who was working at a ticketing counter at the terminal, was charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison term of between one and 14 years, with caning, and a fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad appeared for the prosecution, while counsel Muhammad Khairul Azwan Azhan represented the accused. Earlier, Ahmad Faiz Fitri informed the court that while the prosecution was not offering bail due to the 10 charges against the accused, it proposed RM5,000 per charge if bail were to be considered. However, Muhammad Khairul Azwan pleaded for a lower sum, citing his client's age, the death of her husband in August last year, and her responsibility in caring for her ailing elderly parents. He added that she also suffers from age-related illnesses and a heart condition. "My client works at a kuih stall with a daily income of RM45. This is also her first offence. Therefore, I respectfully request the court to impose a reduced bail amount of RM15,000 for all charges combined," he submitted. The court subsequently allowed bail at RM18,000 for all the charges, with one surety, and fixed Aug 28 for case mention and submission of documents. -Bernama
