  "account": "Muhamad Fadzli Wahab, a 48-year-old food stall worker, pleaded not guilty in Sungai Petani High Court to 55 charges of failing to explain the source of RM107,440 in his bank account. Fadzli, who appeared before Magistrate Muhammad Syaiful Akmal Mohamad Razi and Magistrate Noor Farah Hazwani Osman, made the plea after the 55 charges were read aloud. According to the complaint, Fadzli was accused of possessing between RM800 and RM5,000 in his bank account, allegedly obtained fraudulently from his employer, and failing to provide satisfactory explanations for the entire RM107,440 in the account. The alleged offenses occurred at the Maybank Taman Ria Jaya cash deposit machine between February 16, 2023, and June 26, 2025, and were charged under Section 29(1) of the Small Offences Act 1955. If convicted, Fadzli could face a maximum penalty of RM1,000 in fines, up to one year in prison, or both. The prosecution was handled by Deputy Senior Public Prosecutor Adlin Sufiya Kamarulzaman and Nur Hazwani Md Noor, while Fadzli was represented by lawyer Audrey Wee Li Ye, who requested a low bond due to her sole income being a RM50 daily wage from her food stall job, plus the responsibility for three children aged 10 to 17 who are still in school. The court subsequently granted Fadzli a RM29,000 surety bond with a co-signer and set the next hearing for September 27.",
