  "account": "Kafe Choco Loco and two of its former directors have been charged with using the term \"francais\" without proper registration, according to a Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court. Syaidatul Natasha Suhaimi, the company's director at 36, and Hadi Asasa, the former director at 37, were accused of violating two \"francais\" agreements with Chocolate Cravings Sdn Bhd and Choco Rush Global Trading Sdn Bhd. The offenses occurred at Solaris Dutamas on April 1, 2021, and June 1, 2021, when the companies allegedly used the term \"francais\" without obtaining approval from the French Registrar, under Section 8 of the French Act 1998. Both defendants agreed to the charges, while Syaidatul also claimed innocence regarding the company's case before Judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin. The Magistrate granted a joint bail bond of RM16,000 for all charges. Their lawyers, Kausar Khairi and Sallim Wahid, represented the defendants, while Sallim appeared for the prosecution.",
