Man who posed as Selangor crown prince’s aide pleads guilty to RM33,000 used-car scam

Shah Alam, on November 12th, Al Zulfadly Alias, a 40-year-old man who previously impersonated an aide-de-camp (ADC) to the Raja Muda of Selangor, entered a guilty plea in the Magistrate's Court for defrauding a used-car sale exceeding RM30,000. The charge was brought jointly with 37-year-old Nurul Nur Syahirah Kamarudin, but she maintained her innocence.

They allegedly tricked a 48-year-old victim and a 43-year-old accomplice by convincing them that they could purchase a used Honda CRV for RM33,000, which was obtained from an Asean Summit auction. The alleged crime took place between May 13-14, 2022, and violated Section 109 and 420 of the Penal Code, carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment, caning, and a fine.

Al Zulfadly was represented by attorney Nur Alia Zaheera Mohd Faizal, while Nur Syahirah was represented by Shah Rizal Abdul Manan. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Amirah Zahari granted bail of RM40,000 for both accused, but their attorneys sought the minimum amount. Bail was set at RM10,000 for both, with sentencing scheduled for November 20th for Al Zulfadly and January 19th for Nur Syahirah.
