50-year-old female business owner pleaded guilty to forging documents in Labuan


KOTA KINABALU: A 50-year-old woman pleaded guilty on Thursday (Sept 5) to three optional charges of using falsified bank documents to obtain tenders for cleaning and maintenance services in Labuan.

Judge Jason Juga ordered Kasmina Kassim to pay a total of RM81,000 fine—RM27,000 for each charge under Section 471 of the Penal Code—at the Labuan Special Corruption Sessions Court on Thursday (Sept 5).

The suspect, who was not represented, paid the fine.

As the company owner, she was found guilty of presenting fake bank account statements under Takla Trading in August and September 2020 to Labuan Corporation and Labuan Federal Territory Education Department to obtain tenders for residential cleaning services around Labuan FT and maintenance and repairs services for office space in the Department office, which amounted to RM331,488.

She was earlier charged on Sept 21 last year before the court decision on Thursday.
