This offence is alleged to have occurred at Malayan Banking Berhad, Taman Pandan Jaya, between April 8 and 21, 2018. It is charged under Section 403 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison, whipping, and a fine. He also faces two charges of involvement in money laundering. He is accused of transferring RM50,000 on two occasions from his personal Maybank Islamic Berhad account into his Amanah Saham Bumiputera account, with the funds allegedly being proceeds of unlawful activity. These transactions reportedly took place at a bank in Jalan Persisiran Perling, Taman Perling, Johor Bahru, on June 16 and 19, 2018. The charges are filed under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, and punishable under Section 4(1) of the same Act.
