3 aerospace company directors charged with forging share transfer form

Three directors of an aerospace and aviation company appeared in court on Tuesday, pleading not guilty to charges of forgery. The alleged offense involved the creation of a forged share transfer form, dated February 16, during an unauthorized share transfer. Ahmad Suhaimi Abdul Halim, Raja Shazreen Petra Raja Azman Shah, and Mohamad Haziq Aiman Shamsudin each faced the charges, which were alleged to have occurred on May 12 at PetraX5 Sdn Bhd in Ara Damansara.

The magistrate presiding over the case was Amira Sariaty Zainal. Upon conviction, the crime carries a potential two-year jail term, a fine, or both. The defendants were brought to the court complex in handcuffs. Deputy public prosecutor Syed Ahmed Khabir Abdul Rahman requested a bail amount of RM10,000 with one surety for each accused.

Their lawyers argued that the accused were not likely to flee, as they had been informed by the investigating officer to attend court and had done so. Their legal representatives also mentioned that the accused were supporting their families while cooperating with the investigation. The court set bail at RM4,500 with one surety for each accused, with the next mention scheduled for January 12 next year.
