A former legal firm clerk was charged at the Sessions Court here today with six counts of criminal breach of trust involving RM33,827 over a five-year period between 2020 and 2025.
Mazuin Marzuki, 45, pleaded not guilty after all charges were read separately before Judge Ahzal Fariz Ahmad Khairuddin.
According to the charges, the accused, while serving as a clerk at the law firm Tetuan Nor, Sarina & Co, was entrusted with company funds and allegedly dishonestly misappropriated the money.
She is accused of transferring amounts ranging from RM1,000 to RM15,000 through six online banking transactions into her personal account and her husband’s account, involving a total sum of RM33,827 for personal use.
The offences are alleged to have taken place at the law firm located in Jalan Kolam Ikan, Bayan Lepas, between 4 September 2020 and 3 November 2025, at various times between 10.20am and 3.50am.
The charges were framed under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which provides for imprisonment of up to 14 years, whipping, and a fine upon conviction.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Lim Jin Hong handled the case, while the accused was unrepresented.
During proceedings, the prosecution proposed bail of RM40,000 for all charges.
However, Mazuin requested a lower amount, stating that she is currently unemployed and financially supported by her husband, who is a civil servant.
The court allowed bail at RM30,000 and fixed 29 July for mention, document submission, and appointment of counsel.
