Bekas pengurus didakwa pecah amanah projek bangunan TH

Mohamad Hashim Mukhatap, a 53-year-old former project manager, appeared in court today denying charges of breaching trust related to a commercial building project under Tabung Haji. The case, heard in the Kota Bharu Sessions Court, centers on allegations of misusing funds, amounting to RM14,000 in penalties from contractor Kelpile Sdn Bhd, connected to a project for a 22-storey commercial building with residential units, facilities, and commercial spaces.

The incident is traced back to the period between November 2017 and August 2018, involving Lot 273, Section 12, in Kota Bharu. The former project manager, who managed THP Timur Sdn Bhd, is accused of fraudulently incorporating the penalty money into his personal bank account. The prosecution offered a RM15,000 bond, while defense attorney Fahmi Abd Moin Khairuddin requested a RM5,000 bond.

Judge Dazuki Ali allowed the defendant to post RM8,000 bond with a surety, while also ordering him to surrender his passport, refrain from interfering with witnesses, and report to the SPRM Shah Alam office monthly. The court has set a rescheduled date of October 19 for the matter to be re-considered.
