  "account": "Former deputy general manager of TH Properties subsidiary TH Properties Sdn Bhd, Tengku Kamarolhisham Tengku Kamaruddin, has appeared in Kota Bharu Sessions Court to face criminal breach of trust (CBT) charges. The 55-year-old pleaded not guilty to the allegations, which were read before Judge Dazuki Ali. Tengku Kamarolhisham is accused of collaborating with Hashim Mukhatap, a construction manager at THP Timur Sdn Bhd, to commit CBT by diverting RM14,000 in penalties from Kelpile Sdn Bhd to Hashim's bank account. The offence is said to have occurred at Sofea Residensi in Seksyen 12, Kota Bharu, between November 2017 and August 2018. If convicted, Tengku Kamarolhisham faces a potential sentence of two to 20 years in prison, whipping, and a fine. Deputy public prosecutor Asmah Che Wan is handling the prosecution, while Tengku Kamarolhisham is represented by Fahmi Abd Moin. The court set bail at RM8,000, and Tengku Kamarolhisham must report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission monthly. The case was previously mentioned on Oct 19.",
