Question

Accepted Answer

The total loss incurred due to the fraudulent purchase was RM6,568.

Nikolaus Owin Yohanes Laba was sentenced to nine months in jail for using a forged payslip to purchase electrical items on an instalment plan. The fraudulent activity resulted in a total loss of RM6,568.
Use of a Forged Payslip

Nikolaus used a payslip that he knew to be false as genuine documentation to purchase a television and an air-conditioner on instalment from Kwang Woon Trading Sdn Bhd. The payslip purported to be issued by an auto accessories company, but investigations revealed that Nikolaus had never been employed by that company.
Failed Recovery and Financial Loss

The electrical items were delivered to Nikolaus on the same day of the purchase. However, the following day, the company was alerted to suspicious employment details. Attempts to recover the television and air-conditioner failed as Nikolaus could not be contacted, leading to the financial loss amounting to RM6,568 for the company.
Legal Consequences

Nikolaus pleaded guilty to dishonestly using the forged payslip. The offence falls under Section 471 of the Penal Code, punishable under Section 465 of the same Code, which allows for a jail term of up to two years, a fine, or both upon conviction.
