The accused, Teh Ya Ling, 41, pleaded not guilty to all charges after they were read to her before judge Sharmila Abdul Samad, Sinar Harian reported.

According to the charge sheet, she was accused of committing all 133 offences at a private company on Jalan Sungai, George Town, between Oct 18, 2019 and May 31, 2021.

The accused, who was working as an accounts clerk for the company, allegedly committed CBT by transferring company-owned funds into her personal bank account.

Each of the charges was framed under Section 408 of the Penal Code for committing CBT, which carries a jail term of not less than a year and not more than 14 years, whipping and a fine if convicted.

Deputy public prosecutor Lee Jun Keong prosecuted while the accused was represented by lawyer Teoh Kung Yu.

The prosecution requested the court to grant bail of RM100,000 on all charges with one surety and asked that the accused’s passport be surrendered to the court during the trial.

Teoh, however, urged the court to reduce the bail amount, saying that her client is currently working as a clerk at a private company with a monthly income of RM2,800.

The court then set bail at RM500 for each charge (in total RM66,500) and ordered the accused to surrender her passport.

The judge set Feb 9 for next mention.
