Former KL police finance clerk pleads guilty for using fake documents
KUALA LUMPUR: A former chief finance clerk at the Kuala Lumpur Contingent Police Headquarters (IPKKL) pleaded guilty in the Sessions Court here today to 22 counts of using forged official government receipts totalling RM63,923.20 between September 2021 and March this year. Mizatul Hafiza Mohamad, 41, entered the plea after the charges were read out to her before Judge Azrul Darus. The court set June 20 for sentencing and granted her bail at RM40,000 with one surety for all charges. She was accused of using fake Malaysian government receipts as genuine documents. The forged receipts were issued in the names of 11 individuals and entities, including Sri Hartamas Police Station Quarters, Shabak Enterprise, Kepong Police Housing Residents Association, Jinjang Police Barracks, and Travers Police Station. The offences were committed at the IPKKL Logistics Department, Jalan Hang Tuah, between Sept 8, 2021, and March 10 this year. The charges framed under Section 471 of the Penal Code, punishable under Section 465, provide for up to two years' imprisonment or a fine, upon conviction. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor M. Saravanan asked the court to set a date for sentencing so the prosecution could present the case facts. He also proposed bail of RM50,000 with one surety. Mizatul Hafiza, who was unrepresented, appealed for a reduced bail, citing that she supports her elderly parents and is unmarried. 'I work as an assistant administrative officer in a government department and earn RM3,000 a month,' she told the court. In a separate courtroom before Judge Hamidah Mohamed Deril, Mizatul Hafiza claimed trial to another 21 charges of using forged receipts worth RM30,695.60. These documents bore the names of 13 individuals, including police personnel and residents of police quarters. These offences, allegedly committed between Sept 1, 2023, and Jan 15 this year, also fall under under Sections 471 and 465 of the Penal Code. Mizatul Hafiza also faces four counts of criminal breach of trust involving RM101,635.30, which she allegedly misappropriated while entrusted to manage government funds. The offences were allegedly committed at the same department between Sept 8, 2021, and Jan 15 this year. The charges fall under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries a sentence of two to 20 years' imprisonment, whipping, and a possible fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Raihanah Abd Razak did not offer bail, citing the non-bailable nature of the offence. However, the accused appealed for bail, noting that she had already been granted RM40,000 bail in the earlier case and requested a similar amount. Judge Hamidah allowed bail at RM44,000 with one surety and fixed June 20 for mention and appointment of legal counsel.

Ex-police clerk pleads guilty to forging govt receipts
KUALA LUMPUR: A former chief finance clerk at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters (IPKKL) was brought before two Sessions Courts today to face 47 charges – 43 counts of forging official government receipts and four counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT), involving a total sum of RM196,253.90 between 2021 and this year. Mizatul Hafiza Mohamad, 41, now an assistant administrative officer at the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department, was arrested on May 14 to assist in investigations concerning water bill payments made by residents of police housing quarters. Investigations uncovered discrepancies in the receipts she had issued, revealing that the funds collected were not deposited into the government's revenue account. Appearing before Judge Azrul Darus, Mizatul – a civilian staff member previously attached to IPKKL's Logistics Department – pleaded guilty to 22 charges of forging official government receipts involving RM63,923.20 between September 2021 and March this year. The charges state that she forged government receipts under the names of 11 individuals, including police personnel, as well as residents' associations of the Police Housing in Balai Kepong, Kuarters Balai Polis Travers and Sri Hartamas, and Berek Balai Polis Jinjang. The offences were committed at the Logistics Department office located at Jalan Hang Tuah, Dang Wangi. The offences fall under Section 471 of the Penal Code and are punishable under Section 465, which carries a maximum sentence of two years' imprisonment or a fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutors M. Saravanan and Noor Syafina Mohd Radzuan requested time to prepare the case facts and exhibits prior to sentencing. "The prosecution proposes bail be set at RM50,000 with one surety," Saravanan said. Mizatul, who represented herself as she did not have legal counsel, pleaded for a reduced bail amount. "I earn RM3,000 a month and support my parents. My mother is unwell, and I live alone. My bailors would be either my parents or my younger sibling," she told the court. Judge Azrul set bail at RM40,000 for all charges and fixed June 20 for sentencing and case facts to be presented. Mizatul made a further plea for a reduction in bail, but the judge maintained the amount, saying the decision was made after taking into account the number of charges involved. In a separate court before Judge Hamidah Mohamed Deril, Mizatul claimed trial to 21 counts of forging similar documents involving RM30,696.50, along with four charges of CBT involving RM101,635.30. She was accused of issuing forged official government receipts under the names of 13 individuals and for the same housing quarters, between September 2023 and January this year. She also allegedly misappropriated government funds in 2021, 2023, 2024, and this year, which she was entrusted to deposit into the government revenue account. The CBT offences are charged under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries a sentence of not less than two years and not more than 20 years, whipping, and a fine upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Raihanah Abdul Razak did not offer bail for the CBT charges and requested the court to set a date for document submission and the appointment of legal representation. Hamidah set bail at RM44,000 for all charges and fixed June 20 for mention.

Yusoff Rawther trial: Prosecution closes case, decision June 12
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court on Monday (April 28) set June 12 to decide whether former research assistant to a politician, Muhammed Yusoff Rawther, should enter his defence or be acquitted of charges of distributing cannabis and possessing two imitation firearms. Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin set the date after Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Sabri Othman informed the court that the prosecution had closed its case today after calling 13 prosecution witnesses during the trial, which began on April 7. "The parties must file written submissions on or before May 13, and the court has set June 12 for the decision," the judge said. Earlier, Mohd Sabri informed the court that a total of 13 prosecution witnesses had testified, and the prosecution had offered seven witnesses to the defence. Among the witnesses called during the trial were chemist Harlisa Haidhir Harminder, investigating officers, and police officers. Meanwhile, lawyer Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, representing Muhammed Yusoff, said the defence team would interview the witnesses offered by the prosecution. Earlier, investigating officer Insp Muhammad Zuhairi Md Zuhir, 36, who served in the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division (IPKKL) of the Dang Wangi Police Headquarters, told the court that the police found a lump suspected to be cannabis in a Nissan Teana vehicle belonging to Muhammed Yusoff when they searched the vehicle in front of the surau at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters last year. The 13th prosecution witness said that the initial search of the vehicle was to find ammunition for firearms that had already been discovered. However, further inspection uncovered the drugs. "My investigation found that there was no information regarding drugs received by the complainant (Insp Wan Muhammad Wan Ali) about the accused or the vehicle the accused was in. "The drugs were found after further inspection by the complainant in the parking area in front of the surau at IPKKL," he said during examination-in-chief by Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Shahrizzat Amadan. When questioned on the recorded statement regarding Ops Laras and whether he investigated the tip-off, Muhammad Zuhairi said he had inquired, and Wan Muhammad stated it involved information about an individual possessing a firearm in a vehicle. "The complainant (Insp Wan Muhammad) received a call while in the office, but the caller's identity could not be verified. After observing, he saw an individual approach the vehicle, leading to a raid where the firearm was found as per the tip-off," the witness said. In earlier proceedings, Wan Muhammad, from the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Intelligence division, testified that at 5am on Sept 6, 2024, an unidentified male caller reported a weapon in a vehicle parked near a condominium. However, the caller did not identify himself, speaking only in Malay. Muhammed Yusoff is charged with trafficking 305 grammes of cannabis in his vehicle near the IPKKL at 10.15 am on Sept 6 last year, under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and punishable by mandatory life imprisonment and a minimum of 12 strokes of the cane. He also faces charges for possessing two imitation pistols near a condominium in Jalan Bukit Kiara at 9.25 am on the same day, under Section 36(1) of the Arms Act 1960, carrying a maximum one-year jail term, a fine up to RM5,000, or both. - Bernama
