The director of a Singapore-based company was charged in the Johor Bahru sessions court today with cheating four individuals, including Singaporeans, of RM155,000 more than a decade ago.
Chong Kok Ming, a 54-year-old Singapore permanent resident, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read to him before judge Ahmad Kamal Arifin Ismail, Kosmo reported.
According to the first and second charges, Chong was accused of deceiving two people of RM71,250 each by claiming that they would receive shares and annual dividends from a registered company in Malaysia.
He allegedly committed the offences at a bank in Taman Makmur, Batu Pahat, on Oct 15, 2014.
For the third and fourth charges, Chong was accused of cheating two other victims of RM6,250 each under similar pretences involving shares and dividends from a Malaysian-registered company.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission deputy public prosecutor Chan Lee Lee prosecuted while the accused was represented by lawyer K Veeranesh.
