  "account": "UITM Holdings former CEO Azlizan Fadzil appeared in Shah Alam Magistrate Court today, denying charges of embezzlement involving RM37.4 million. The charges allege that Azlizan misused funds meant for the construction of a 50MW solar photovoltaic power plant in Pahang, instead using them for other purposes. The wrongdoing is said to have occurred between February and October 2017. If found guilty, Azlizan could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine. Magistrate Nasir Nordin allowed Azlizan to be held on RM50,000 bail with two sureties and ordered him to surrender his passport. The trial management was set for November 3rd. Azlizan was represented by lawyer Hasshahari Johari Mawi, while Deputy Prosecutor Law Chin How appeared on behalf of the prosecution.",
