SEREMBAN: A pre-school assistant claimed trial to two charges of cheating two persons of RM1.64mil in an investment scam.
Rozma Yunus, 56, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read to her before magistrates Nurul Saqinah Rosli and Syed Farid Syed Ali at two separate courts.
She was charged with another person still at large with cheating a 56-year-old manager of a government-linked company and a 55-year-old woman on the fake investments.
The accused is alleged to have convinced them to transfer RM1,545,824 and RM97,800 into a bank account.
Rozma was charged with committing the offences between July 12, 2017 and Sept 1, 2022 in Kg Tok Dagang and Taman Panchor Jaya.
She was charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code read together with Section 34 of the same legislation.
Offenders can be jailed between one and 10 years, and whipped and fined upon conviction.
The accused, who was represented by Chrysandy Lai and Lee Boon Shian from the Legal Aid Department, asked for low bail pending remention, pointing out that her husband was unemployed.
Bail was fixed at RM12,000 for both charges with Feb 4 set for remention.
