Mohamed Nor Azmi Darno, 54, who has since been posted to the Selangor education department, was accused of committing the offences by taking the money donated by a corporation as Hari Raya aid for “asnaf” (tithe recipient) students at the school for his personal use.

He was alleged to have committed the offences in three transactions at a local bank in Saujana Utama, Bandar Saujana Utama, Sungai Buloh, on June 17 and 19, 2019.

Each charge, framed under Section 409 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum jail term of 20 years, whipping and a fine upon conviction.

Judge Rozilah Salleh allowed Nor Azmi bail of RM30,000 with one surety and set Nov 22 for remention.

Deputy public prosecutor from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Noryusriza Zulkifli prosecuted, while the accused was represented by Nur Asikin Mohamed Yusoff.
