Land office admin assistant charged again with falsifying documents, cheating [WATCH]

SHAH ALAM: An administrative assistant with the Sabak Bernam district and land office facing bribery charges was today slapped with four more counts of falsifying documents and cheating of two persons.

Last month, Noor Aliza Hamin, 46, pleaded not guilty to two charges of accepting bribes close to RM8,000 as an inducement for her to process the man's application to subdivide a piece of land under a sub-district grant in 2022. 

Before Sessions Court judge Datuk Anita Harun today, Noor Aliza claimed trial to all four charges linked to subdividing the land of two individuals. 

On the first count, she was accused of falsifying a document to claim RM3,700 from a 41-year-old woman for the preparation of a plan to subdivide a 1.28ha land in the Pancang Bedana sub-district in Sabak Bernam.

On the second and third count, she had allegedly fraudulently falsified copies of the office's payment receipts under the name of the same woman. 

She committed the offences at her house in Taman Purnama, Sungai Besar on May 30 and Sept 28, 2022.

The charges under Section 471 of the Penal Code punishable under Section 465 of the same code carries a jail term up to two years; with fine or both, upon conviction. 

On the fourth count, she was accused of cheating a 33-year-old man to hand over RM3,560 as payment to approve a land sub-division, which he would not have done if he knew he would be deceived. 

She committed the offence at a bank in Sungai Besar on April 12,2022. 

The charge under Section 415 of the Penal Code punishable under Section 417 of the same code carries an imprisonment up to five years or with fine or both upon conviction. 

Noor Aliza, who was unrepresented, pleaded for the RM10,000 bail set previously to be applicable for today's charges. 

"I am paying off my ex-husband debts and I need to undergo a fibroid operation," she said. 

Prosecuting officer Mohd Alimi Mustapha did not object. 

Anita allowed the same bail to be used and maintained the additional conditions ordered previously. 

The court fixed July 30 for mention.
