KOTA BHARU, May 29 — A medical assistant at a health clinic pleaded not guilty in the Magistrate's Court here today to stealing a mobile power generator truck from an industrial equipment supplier last year.
Asrul Azwan Yunus, 46, entered the plea before Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid.
According to the charge, he allegedly stole a Nissan UD mobile power generator truck from the company's storage facility between 11 pm and 4 am on July 19, 2024.
The offence is framed under Section 379A of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of between one and seven years and a fine, upon conviction.
