Ex-construction project manager charged with CBT involving TH-owned project
Hashim Mukhatap pleads not guilty to misappropriating RM14,000 in penalties collected from a contractor.
Hashim Mukhatap, a 53-year-old former construction project manager, pleaded not guilty in a Malaysian court to charges of criminal breach of trust. The case centers around RM14,000 in penalties allegedly misappropriated from a contractor involved in a Tabung Haji-owned commercial building project. Prosecutors say the money was deposited into Mukhatap's personal bank account between November 2017 and August 2018, while Mukhatap denies the allegations.
The offense, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment, was committed at Sofea Residensi in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. MACC deputy prosecutor Mariah Omar requested bail of RM15,000, while defense counsel Fahmi Abd Moin sought RM5,000. Judge Dazuki Ali set bail at RM8,000 with one surety, and ordered Mukhatap to surrender his passport, avoid disturbing witnesses, and report to the Shah Alam MACC office monthly. The court date for mention is set for October 19.
