SHAH ALAM:
The owner of a training provider company pleaded not guilty in the sessions court here today to a charge of making a false claim amounting to RM85,500 to a ministry agency four years ago.

Nazri Ahmad, 46, made the plea before judge Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud.

He was charged as a registered training provider with Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Bhd with submitting a document worth RM85,800 to the agency via email.

This was allegedly done to deceive the principal as the document contained false details.

The offence was allegedly committed on Feb 27, 2021, at the office of a company in Seri Kembangan.

The charge, framed under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the false claim or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

The court allowed Nazri bail of RM20,000 with one surety and ordered him to surrender his passport and report to an MACC office once a month.

The court fixed March 6 for mention.

Deputy public prosecutor Ezuain Farhana Ahmad appeared for the prosecution while lawyer Syaheera Rosli represented Nazri.
