(Kota Samarahan, 9th) A 31-year-old woman, involved in a non-existent bank investment scheme and already facing multiple fraud charges in Kuching, was charged again on Wednesday (January 7), this time required to answer to another four charges involving total losses of RM500,000.
After listening to the charges before Sessions Court Judge Shafiza Abdul Razak Tready, the accused pleaded not guilty to all four charges. The charges were made under Section 420 of the Penal Code, upon conviction, punishable by imprisonment from 1 to 10 years, whipping, and a fine.
The court granted the accused bail of RM25,000 for each charge with two sureties, and ordered her to surrender her passport and report to the nearest police station every month. Case management is scheduled for February 11.
The prosecution alleged that the accused persuaded four people to invest in a non-existent bank investment scheme, causing them to individually suffer losses of RM50,000, RM50,000, RM200,000, and RM200,000 between August and September 2025.
The case was prosecuted by Mohd Fadzri Azham Zainudin, while the accused was represented by Shemira Adzhaar.
With the latest charges, the total number of similar charges the woman faces in Kuching and Kota Samarahan has increased to 11.
Earlier this week, she and two others—a 27-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman—were charged with cheating three victims involving RM600,000. Last month, these three were also charged with cheating a 61-year-old woman in a scam resulting in a loss of RM16,000.
