By SYLVIA LOOI


IPOH: An information technology (IT) officer with the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry has been charged with four counts of illegally transferring Perak land titles.

Mohd Radzi Mohd Ramli, 54, pleaded not guilty to illegally transferring two land titles from a person called Chong Chiep Bee to a Yew Chio Chiong.

He also claimed trial to illegally invalidating the mortgage status of the two land titles, which had been initially charged to OCBC Bank (M) Bhd.

Mohd Radzi, who is still an officer of the ministry’s IT section in Putrajaya, pleaded not guilty to illegally transferring the land title of Woo Foo Yee @ Anne Marie to Yew Chio Chiong.

The IT officer is also said to have created a land title for Mulia Era Jaya Sdn Bhd.

He is alleged to have committed all the fraudulent transactions at the computer training room of the IT section of the Perak Land and Mines Office here on Oct 1, 2007, between 3.39pm and 3.49pm.

All the land parcels involved in the alleged illegal transfers are located in Perak.

Mohd Radzi was charged under Section 5 (1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997 for unauthorised modification of the contents of a computer.

If found guilty, Mohd Radzi is liable to a fine not exceeding RM100,000 or to a jail term of not more than seven years, or both.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Fatnin Yusof prosecuted before sessions court judge Rashidah Chik who set bail at RM12,000 with one surety and fixed Oct 9 for mention.
