KUANTAN, July 22 (Bernama) -- A security manager pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of using a false document in a procurement process in 2022.
Nur Mohamad Fariz Abu Bakar, 36, from Petaling Jaya, Selangor, entered the plea before Judge Sazlina Safie.
He is accused of using a forged quotation for RM29,000, dated Aug 26, 2022, as genuine in a procurement application to supply cleaning products to the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (RISDA) in Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan for one year.
The offence allegedly took place at Risda Security and Services Sdn Bhd here on Aug 30, 2022.
The charge, under Section 471 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 465, carries a maximum sentence of two years’ jail, a fine, or both, if convicted.
During proceedings, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) prosecuting officer Suriawani Abdul Rahim proposed bail at RM12,000 with one surety. However, the accused, who was unrepresented, requested a lower amount, citing his responsibilities as the sole breadwinner for his wife, three children and mother.
The court set bail at RM5,000 with one surety and fixed Aug 25 for document submission and the appointment of legal counsel.
