A former senior cashier of a supermarket chain pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court to charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering involving RM469,400 worth of Touch ‘n Go reload pin codes belonging to her employer.
Nur Atiqah Asyirah Fauzi faces two counts of CBT under Section 408 of the Penal Code and 12 counts of money laundering under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
She is accused of misappropriating RM98,800 by transferring the funds to her own Touch ‘n Go e-wallet and of sending RM370,600 worth of reload pin codes to her siblings and friends. The alleged offences occurred between Jan 1, 2023 and July 9, 2024 at the supermarket’s Kepong branch.
If convicted of CBT, Atiqah faces up to 14 years in prison and a fine. For the money laundering charges, she could be jailed for up to 15 years.
Judge Azrul Darus granted bail of RM100,000 with one surety and ordered Atiqah to surrender her passport pending the case outcome. Case management is scheduled for Nov 8.
She was represented by lawyer Ainul Azwan Ainul Jamal, while deputy public prosecutor Megat Mahathir Megat Tharih Afendi appeared for the prosecution.
