  "account": "Former deputy general manager of TH Properties Sdn Bhd, Tengku Kamarolhisham Tengku Kamaruddin, appeared in Kota Bharu Sessions Court to face criminal breach of trust (CBT) allegations. Tengku Kamaruddin, 55, denied the charges before Judge Dazuki Ali, with prosecutors alleging he conspired with THP Timur Sdn Bhd's construction manager, Hashim Mukhatap, to embezzle RM14,000 in construction penalties. The alleged offense occurred at Sofea Residensi in Kota Bharu between November 2017 and August 2018, under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries penalties of two to 20 years in prison, whipping, and a fine upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Asmah Che Wan represented the prosecution, while Tengku Kamaruddin was represented by Fahmi Abd Moin, who requested bail of RM5,000 due to his client's financial struggles, including six children, heart issues, and diabetes. The court set bail at RM8,000 and ordered Tengku Kamaruddin to report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission monthly. The case was set for mention on October 19.",
