Pemilik syarikat mengaku tak salah kemuka tuntutan palsu subsidi upah Perkeso

Pemilik syarikat, Muhammad Ra abilshah Samzali, 42, appeared in Georgetown Sessions Court today over accusations of providing false statements to Perkeso regarding a construction company's wage subsidy claim, four years ago. Samzali, however, admitted his innocence upon reading the charges in front of Presiding Judge Irwan Suainbon, according to Bernama.

The prosecution alleged that he provided a document, a list of workers titled SIP Subsidy Wage 5.0, to a Perkeso Employment Insurance Branch officer in Putrajaya, misleading the principal by including names of non-MRSJ Builders Sdn Bhd employees. Samzali claimed he believed the document contained false statements about the worker details.

The case was filed at MRSJ Builders Sdn Bhd's office, Jalan Sungai Dua, Gelugor, on February 14, 2022. The prosecution, represented by Deputy SPRM Prosecutor Nurnajihatul Idayu Mohd Azuyar, sought a conviction under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency Act 2009 (Act 694), which could result in up to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to five times the amount or value of the false statement, or RM10,000, whichever is higher.

Samzali's defense attorney, Muhammad Arif Shaharuddin, requested a minimum bond of RM5,000 and a special condition imposed by the prosecution before a re-scheduling on November 2.
