VP Rajeswary, 44, the managing director of R Global Pro Solution (M) Sdn Bhd, made the plea before judge Nasir Nordin after the charges were read out separately.

She was accused of using falsified immigration department official receipts, dated July 3, 11 and 13, 2023, at the company’s office in Semenyih on July 27, 2023.

The charges were framed under Section 471 of the Penal Code. If convicted, Rajeswary faces a maximum jail term of two years, a fine or both.

Prosecuting officer Hanafi Firdhaus Latif requested the court to impose bail of RM20,000, matching the amount previously set for the accused by the Kuala Lumpur sessions court on March 10.

He also requested that the case be transferred to the Kuala Lumpur sessions court as Rajeswary was already facing two charges of using falsified documents there. Her defence lawyer, C Paul, did not object to the application.

The court allowed the requests and set April 16 for the case to be re-mentioned at the Kuala Lumpur sessions court.

On March 10, Rajeswary pleaded not guilty before judge Rosli Ahmad to two counts of using falsified documents related to the supply of foreign worker quotas. The offences were allegedly committed on May 27 and July 6, 2023.

According to the charge sheet, she was accused of committing both offences at the office of HR Assistant Solution Sdn Bhd in Jalan Desa Bahagian, Kuala Lumpur.

For the first charge, Rajeswary was accused of using a quota approval slip from the human resource ministry dated May 3, 2023, which she allegedly knew was falsified.

The second charge involved the use of a forged immigration department official receipt.

The Kuala Lumpur sessions court granted Rajeswary bail of RM20,000 in one surety and ordered her to report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters in Putrajaya once a month.
