Accused Deceived Japanese Parents Through False School Fee Invoices

A former employee of an international school allegedly tricked two Japanese parents into transferring a total of RM142,354.10 by issuing them fraudulent school fee invoices. The accused, identified as A. Komala, a 33-year-old who held positions as a parent liaison executive and personal assistant, is said to have presented these invoices as legitimate. This deception led the parents to remit funds into a bank account associated with a company owned by the accused's husband.
False Invoices Presented as Legitimate

The core of the alleged deception involved A. Komala issuing school fee invoices that were not genuine. She allegedly led two Japanese fathers to believe that these documents were valid requests for their children's tuition fees. This misrepresentation was central to persuading the parents to proceed with the payments.
Funds Diverted to Husband's Company Account

Following the false impression created by the invoices, the victims proceeded to transfer substantial sums. One parent transferred RM94,509, while the other remitted RM47,845.10. These payments were directed into a bank account registered under a company that belonged to the accused's husband, indicating a potential scheme to divert school funds for personal gain.
Charges Related to Cheating and Criminal Breach of Trust

In addition to the cheating charges, Komala also faces accusations of criminal breach of trust (CBT) concerning the misappropriation of RM142,354.10 belonging to the school. The alleged offences occurred at the international school in Persiaran Stonor, Dang Wangi, between June 11 and June 28 of the previous year. The CBT charge falls under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries severe penalties.
