He entered the plea before Sessions court judge Datuk Mohd Nasir Nordin after the charges were read to him. According to the first charge, Nas Suffian has directly engaged in money laundering transactions involving RM224,840, transferred from a man's account to his mother's bank account through 29 online transactions between Nov 1, 2023 and May 29, 2024. He is also accused of receiving RM297,600 in proceeds from unlawful activities, transferred from the same individual's bank account to his personal account through 29 transactions between Oct 19, 2022 and Aug 8, 2024. The man is also charged with transferring RM113,375 from his account to an account of another individual in 32 transactions between April 16, 2023 and Nov 2, 2023. The accused is also charged with transferring RM209,080 from the bank account of a company he operates to his personal account through 55 online transactions between July 29, 2022 and July 1, 2024.

The first charge falls under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Act 613), while the remaining charges are under Section 4(1)(b) of the same Act. If found guilty, the accused can be jailed up to 15 years and fined at least five times the amount of the laundered money, the value of the proceeds from unlawful activities at the time the offence was committed, or RM5mil, whichever is higher. Deputy Public Prosecutor of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Siti Amirah Muhammad Ali, proposed bail at RM800,000 with additional conditions imposed. However, lawyer Muhammad Zaim Rosli requested a lower amount, citing that his client has to support five school-going children, Bernama reported. The court then set bail at RM100,000 for all charges, with conditions, requiring the accused to report monthly to the MACC, surrender his passport and refrain from interfering with prosecution witnesses. The case will be mentioned on Sept 12. Bernama also reported that a security manager pleaded not guilty in the Kuantan Sessions court here to a charge of using a false document in a procurement process in 2022. Nur Mohamad Fariz Abu Bakar, 36, from Petaling Jaya, Selangor, entered the plea before judge Sazlina Safie. He is accused of using a forged quotation for RM29,000, dated Aug 26, 2022, as genuine in a procurement application to supply cleaning products to the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Risda) in Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan for one year. The offence allegedly took place at Risda Security and Services Sdn Bhd here on Aug 30, 2022. The charge, under Section 471 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 465, carries a maximum sentence of two years' jail, a fine, or both, if convicted. During proceedings, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) prosecuting officer Suriawani Abdul Rahim proposed bail at RM12,000 with one surety. However, the accused, who was unrepresented, requested a lower amount, saying that he was the sole breadwinner for his wife, three children and mother. The court set bail at RM5,000 with one surety and fixed Aug 25 for document submission and the appointment of a lawyer.

Deputy public prosecutor Siti Amirah Muhammad Ali did not offer bail as the offences are non-bailable.

She also urged the court to order the accused the surrender his passport to the court, report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Johor monthly and not harass prosecution witnesses if he was granted bail.

Lawyer Muhammad Zaim Rosli pleaded for a bail of between RM10,000 and RM15,000 for each charge and said his client had been with the Immigration Department for 19 years. "My client's wife is also a senior immigration officer and they have five children aged between 7 and 15. "He has a clean work record and never had disciplinary action taken against him. But, he faces the risk of being suspended after being charged today. "He cooperated during investigations. The issue of him absconding does not arise and he has pledged to attend all court proceedings," he said. Zaim said his client will also be hauled to the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex to face similar charges on Thursday (July 24). After hearing the submissions, Nasir set bail at RM100,000 with one surety.
