An unemployed woman, Chin Chew Woon, was fined RM24,000 by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for fraudulently transferring RM1.1 million from a retiree's account to her own eight years ago.

The court also sentenced her to 24 months of imprisonment should she fail to pay the fine.

Chin transferred the funds after misleading the victim, claiming it was needed for an investigation.

Despite pleading for leniency due to personal hardships, the prosecution emphasized the need for a deterrent sentence given the significant losses endured by the victim and the frequency of such fraud cases in Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — An unemployed woman was fined RM24,000 by the Sessions Court here today after pleading guilty to two charges of fraudulently transferring RM1.1 million belonging to a retiree into her own bank account eight years ago.

Judge Muhammad Ilmami Ahmad imposed the fine on Chin Chew Woon, 43, and ordered her to serve 24 months’ imprisonment if she failed to settle the fine.

According to the charges, Chin was accused of transferring RM500,000 and RM600,000 belonging to a 66-year-old man into her bank account in Brickfields on December 26 and 27, 2018.

She was charged under Section 424 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both.

According to the facts of the case, the victim received a call from an individual who introduced himself as a police officer, claiming the victim was involved in a money laundering case.

The victim was then instructed to transfer his savings amounting to RM500,000 and RM600,000 into the accused’s account for investigation purposes.

Subsequently, the victim was unable to contact the individual claiming to be a police officer to recover the money.

Investigations revealed that the accused was the owner of the account that received the RM1.1 million. She failed to provide a satisfactory explanation regarding the transactions.

Deputy public prosecutor Anis Hakimah Ibrahim urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence, taking into account the substantial losses suffered by the victim and the prevalence of such fraudulent cases in Malaysia.

Chin, who was unrepresented, pleaded for a lenient sentence on the grounds that she is unemployed and has to support two children, her mother and her ailing mother-in-law. — Bernama
