SHAH ALAM, March 14 — A company managing director pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court today to three counts of using a falsified Malaysian Immigration Department receipt two years ago.
V.P. Rajeswary, 44, the managing director of R Global Pro Solution (M) Sdn Bhd (RGPS), made the plea before Judge Datuk Mohd Nasir Nordin after the charges were read out separately.
She is accused of using falsified Immigration Department official receipts, dated July 3, July 11, and July 13, 2023, as genuine at the company's office in Semenyih on July 27, 2023.
The charges were framed under Section 471 of the Penal Code, which is punishable under Section 465 of the same law. If convicted, the offence carries a maximum jail term of two years, a fine, or both.
Prosecuting officer Mohd Hanafi Firdhaus Abd Latif requested the court impose a RM20,000 bail, matching the amount previously set against the accused by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, on March 10.
He also requested that the case be transferred to the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, as Rajeswary was already facing two charges of using falsified documents there. Her defence lawyer C. Paul did not object to the application.
The court allowed the requests and set April 16 for the case to be re-mentioned at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
On March 10, the accused pleaded not guilty before Judge Rosli Ahmad, to two counts of using falsified documents related to the supply of foreign worker quotas. The offences were allegedly committed on May 27 and July 6, 2023.
According to the charge sheet, Rajeswary was accused of committing both offences at the office of HR Assistant Solution Sdn Bhd, along Jalan Desa Bahagian in Kuala Lumpur.
For the first charge, she was accused of using a Human Resources Ministry Quota Approval Slip dated May 3, 2023, which she allegedly knew was falsified. The second charge involved using a forged Malaysian Immigration Department official receipt.
The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court granted Rajeswary RM20,000 bail in one surety and ordered her to report once a month to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters in Putrajaya.
