  "account": "Today, the former CEO of UiTM Holdings Sdn Bhd, Azlizan Fadzil, appeared in the Shah Alam Sessions Court, facing charges of corporate manslaughter for allegedly misusing RM37.4 million belonging to the company. The accusations claim that the funds, meant for a large-scale solar photovoltaic power generation project with a capacity of 50MW in Pahang, were instead used for unrelated purposes. The alleged misconduct is said to have occurred between February and October 2017.\n\nAzlizan is accused of committing the wrongdoing, which carries a potential prison sentence of between two to 20 years, along with a fine, if found guilty. The judge, Nasir Nordin, granted Azlizan RM50,000 bail with two sureties and ordered him to surrender his passport. The management of the case was set for November 3. Azlizan was represented by lawyer Hasshahari Johari Mawi, while Deputy Prosecutor Law Chin How attended for the prosecution.",
