Kakak ahli politik dituduh seleweng RM2.42 juta harta mendiang bapa

In a recent court hearing in Kuching, a sister of a Sarawak politician faced allegations of embezzling RM2.42 million from her ailing father's savings account. The 60-year-old woman appeared before Magistrate Iris Awen Jon, denying the charges presented against her. According to the prosecution, she is accused of unlawfully using the funds, which is intended for imprisonment ranging from six months to five years, along with a fine if deemed guilty.

The funds were allegedly withdrawn from her father's savings account at a bank in Kuching on June 10, 2024, without the consent of family members or heirs, and believed to be a portion of the estate that should have been allocated to rightful heirs. The court allowed the defendant to post a RM100,000 surety with two local sureties and set a date of September 28 for the management of the case.

The defendant was represented by lawyers Roger Chin and Lim Heng Choo, while the prosecution was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor Chuah Kai Sheng.
