He pleaded guilty along with another accused, Nurul Nur Syahirah Kamarudin, 37, who pleaded not guilty. The two were jointly accused of deceiving a 43-year-old woman into believing they could arrange the purchase of a used Lexus RX350 for RM40,000, acquired supposedly through an auction held in conjunction with the Asean Summit. The offence allegedly took place at a premises in Taman Sri Andalas between April 13 and 14. They face a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail, whipping and a fine if convicted. Both accused were granted bail of RM8,000 each, with conditions requiring them to report to the nearest police station once a month. The case has been set for mention on November 20. Both were previously charged in a separate vehicle auction scam involving RM30,000 in May.",
