Woman claims fiancé trafficked to Cambodia, held for RM114k ransom
KUALA LUMPUR: A woman has accused her fiancé's former friend of betraying him and handing him over to a human trafficking syndicate in Cambodia, where he is now allegedly being held for a US$27,000 (RM114,000) ransom. Teau, 26, said her 33-year-old fiancé was duped into travelling to Bangkok earlier this month after accepting a job offer from a woman he had helped five years ago. "She was a single mother at the time. My fiancé took pity on her, gave her a place to stay and even lent her money," she said. "But recently, she contacted him out of the blue, offering him a job in Bangkok. He agreed, flew there, and upon arrival, she wasn't there. She claimed she was flying in from KLIA and would meet him the next day. "She never showed up. Instead, my fiancé was taken by an online scam syndicate and trafficked to Cambodia," she said at a press conference organised by the Malaysian International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO). Also present were MHO secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim and the organisation's human trafficking unit head Azirul Syafiq Sazali. Teau, who is from Kedah, said she first became aware her fiancé was in danger when she received a desperate WhatsApp message from him pleading for help. She was later contacted by an unknown individual who demanded a RM85,000 ransom. "I refused to pay. Instead, I lodged a report at the Kota Setar district police headquarters on Sunday and sought help from MHO," she said. The syndicate has since increased the ransom demand to RM114,000 for his release and safe return to Malaysia.

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.

Former bus ticketing clerk claims trial to CBT charges involving RM114,630
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. The case falls under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries a potential prison sentence of one to 14 years, caning, and a fine if convicted. 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.
