KOTA KINABALU: A couple pleaded not guilty in the Tawau Special Corruption Court to 15 counts of using fake documents to claim over RM650,000 from Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) for the supply of diesel.
Sessions Court judge Jason anak Juga set bail at RM10,000 each for Junaidi Abdul Rahman, 63, and his wife, Albina Ogor Abdullah, 50, with RM3,000 to be paid under one local surety.
The former chief executive officer and former executive director of a private company were also ordered to report to the nearest Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office once every two months and surrender their passports.
Both suspects, unrepresented in court yesterday, allegedly committed the offence between April 8 and April 11 last year at the Tawau Power Station.
The claims involved amounts of 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 litres – totalling RM25,212, RM37,818, and RM50,424 respectively.
According to the prosecution, they submitted claims for 10,000 litres twice, 15,000 litres four times and 20,000 litres nine times.Investigations revealed that the claims made were inconsistent with the actual diesel supply provided for electric generator sets managed by their company.
The prosecution, led by officer Norsham Saharom, said the suspects were arrested at 10.55am on Tuesday.
