Bekas pengurus THP Bina didakwa pecah amanah RM72,000
Tertuduh, Nasahruddin Ahmad bagaimanapun mengaku tidak bersalah terhadap tiga pertuduhan.
Former THP Bina safety and health manager Nasahruddin Ahmad faced three charges of misappropriating RM72,000 from penalty fee revenue linked to a project for renovating government office complexes in Putrajaya. The 56-year-old appeared in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Monday, denying the three charges presented one by one before Judge Rosli Ahmad.
Themed Bina Sdn Bhd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TH Properties Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Haj Trust Fund) that focuses on construction and project management. As the safety and health manager at the company, Nasahruddin was entrusted with the RM72,000 penalty fee revenue, which he allegedly deposited into his own account, breaching his trust.
The money pertains to several projects in Presint 3 Kuala Lumpur, including PT 12081: Block A-10, Block B-9, Auditorium and three underground parking levels; PT 12075: Block C-7, two underground parking levels; and PT 12074: Block D-9, two underground parking levels for THP Bina Sdn Bhd. He is charged with the misconduct between April 26, 2013, and August 12, 2015, under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence and a fine.
The court allowed Nasahruddin to be bonded with RM50,000 and a surety for all three charges, with the additional conditions of reporting to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) office monthly, surrendering his passport until the case is finalized, and refraining from contacting any potential witnesses involved in the case.
The court set the next hearing for October 5. Earlier, Deputy Senior Assistant DPP Irna Julieza Maaras stated that the breach of trust under Section 409 of the Penal Code is an un-bailable offense, but the court showed leniency in granting the bond. "If the court grants the bond, the defendant is proposing to pay RM70,000 in bond for all three charges.
The defendant also proposed three additional conditions: the accused must report to the SPRM office near the court on a monthly basis, surrender his passport to the court until the case is finalized, and not contact or communicate with any witnesses potentially involved in the case."
