By MAIZATUL NAZLINA
PETALING JAYA: A marketing agent of a plastic company claimed trial in a Sessions Court here on Tuesday for cheating a businessman in relation to the purchase of 1,600 units of LCD televisions.
Tjoeng Chan Chin, 34, was charged with duping Tan Hoon Teng @ Harold Tan, 64, and had maliciously persuaded him to hand over RM308,000 for the purchase of the units.
He was alleged to have committed the offence at HSBC in Jalan Sultan here at about 10.30am on Aug 24, 2011.
Deputy public prosecutor Irna Julieza Maaras offered bail at RM15,000 in one surety.
Counsel Mohd Haijan Omar who acted for Tjoeng said his client came from Batu Pahat and was married with two small kids.
He said Tjoeng earned RM2,000 a month while his wife was a clerk earning RM3,000 monthly.
Judge Suraya Mustafa Kamal later granted bail at RM10,000 with only Tjoeng's wife as the bailor.
The court fixed June 17 for mention.
