Question

Accepted Answer

A Royal Malaysian Air Force Officer and a Company Director Charged with Deception Over a RM250,000 Tender

A Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Captain, Mohd Fazrin Musa, aged 30, and a company director, Ai’dah Mohamed, aged 32, have been charged with cheating a businessman, Jamalulail Abdullah, 55. The deception allegedly involved a tender for the supply and delivery of paint valued at RM250,000 for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). This alleged act prompted Jamalulail Abdullah to hand over the sum of RM250,000 to the accused.
False Assurance of Tender Award

The core of the deception lies in the alleged misrepresentation made by Captain Mohd Fazrin Musa and Ai’dah Mohamed to Jamalulail Abdullah. They are accused of making him believe that they possessed the influence or ability to guarantee that his company, IT Frontiers, would be awarded the specific tender. This false assurance was the direct catalyst for Jamalulail Abdullah parting with RM250,000.
Details of the Alleged Offence

The alleged fraudulent act is reported to have taken place on February 15 of the previous year at Jalan 1/50 Diamond Square Off Jalan Gombak, Wangsa Maju. The charge is being prosecuted under Section 420 of the Penal Code, which addresses cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. Conviction under this section can result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years, along with potential whipping and a fine.
Bail and Court Proceedings

Both Captain Mohd Fazrin Musa and Ai’dah Mohamed pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read out in the Sessions Court. They were subsequently granted bail, with each required to provide RM10,000 bail secured by one surety. The court has scheduled February 28 for a mention of the case. The prosecution is being handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Khairiyah Samsudin, while the defence is represented by lawyer Husni Abdul Hamid.
