Atiqah was also accused of transferring a sum of RM370,600 to her siblings and friends via Touch ‘n Go reload pin codes.
The offences allegedly took place between Jan 1, 2023 and July 9, 2024 at the supermarket’s Kepong outlet.
If found guilty of CBT, she will face between one and 14 years in jail and a fine.
