Politician’s sister accused of misappropriating RM2.42mil belonging to late father
The 60-year-old is alleged to have withdrawn the money from the deceased's estate without the consent of the other beneficiaries.
In a Sarawak court today, the sister of a politician denied charges of misappropriating RM2.42 million from her late father's savings account. The 60-year-old woman appeared before Judge Iris Awen Jon, denying the allegations under Section 403 of the Penal Code, which carries a sentence of six months to five years in prison, whipping, and a fine upon conviction.
Prosecutors alleged that the woman dishonestly withdrew the funds without the father's consent or the knowledge of other beneficiaries, intending to distribute the money among lawful heirs. The court set bail at RM100,000 with two local sureties and scheduled the case for management on September 28. The woman was represented by lawyers Roger Chin and Lim Heng Choo, while the prosecution was handled by deputy public prosecutor Chuah Kai Sheng.
