Two women have entered a plea of not guilty to three charges each of allegedly stealing about RM120,000 from a retiree in Kuala Lumpur by falsely claiming they could resolve a non-existent tax debt at the Inland Revenue Board building. Noorfarah Surina Ahmad, 42, and Nurfalah Noordin, 33, appeared in court on August 14, 2026, and were ordered to pay RM4,500 bail with one surety for each charge.
If convicted, they could face up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine. The prosecution alleges the pair deceived the victim on three separate occasions - April 10, April 14, and June 4 - promising to help him settle the fabricated tax arrears. The defence argues Noorfarah Surina works as an event organizer and earns RM2,000 monthly, while Nurfalah is unemployed, lives with schizophrenia, and is cared for by her elderly parents.
The court set a collective bail of RM30,000 for both women, with monthly police station reporting until the case concludes.
