'Kambing hitam' lembu kondo hadapi 2 tuduhan menipu...

Shamsubahrin Ismail, yang sebelum ini didakwa menipu pengerusi Perbadanan Fidlot Kebangsaan, hari ini mengaku tidak bersalah terhadap dua tuduhan berasingan menipu, yang tidak berkaitan dengan kontroversi NFC.

Ahli perniagaan berusia 45 itu, didakwa di Hospital Tunku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang, di mana dia sedang menjalani rawatan bagi komplikasi kesihatan.

Pertama, dia didakwa mengikut Seksyen 420 Kanun Keseksaan dengan tuduhan menipu seorang pemandu teksi dengan membuatnya melabur RM90,000 dalam syarikat yang tidak wujud.

Shamsubahrin (kiri - duduk di katil) berdepan dengan hukuman tidak kurang setahun dan tidak lebih daripada 10 tahun penjara dan sebatan, jika sabit kesalahan. Dia juga boleh dihukum denda jika sabit kesalahan. Ikat jamin ditetapkan sebanyak RM9,000 dan kes itu ditetapkan untuk sebutan pada 27 Februari.

Menurut peguamnya, N Surendran, Shamsubahrin ditangkap semula pada 19 Januari selepas keluarganya membayar ikatjamin sebanyak RM300,000 tiga minggu selepas dia didakwa menipu pengerusi NFCorp, Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail sebanyak RM1.755 juta.

Sebelum itu, Surendran, yang juga naib presiden PKR, memberitahu pemberita bahawa tertuduh mempunyai maklumat mengenai NFC dan berjanji akan membuat lagi pendedahan. Turut hadir ialah ahli jawatankuasa PKR pusat Latheefa Koya, yang berkata pihak prihatin terhadap keselamatan ahli perniagaan itu.

Tuduhan kedua

Tidak sampai 45 minit kemudian, pada jam 11 pagi, Shamsubahrin dikenakan satu lagi pertuduhan menipu, apabila seorang lagi majistret dari mahkamah Shah Alam, Noor Kamilah Aziz, tiba di hospital.

Shamsubahrin didakwa mengikut Seksyen 417 Kanun Keseksaan dengan tuduhan tidak menyediakan seorang pembantu rumah kepada seorang individu, yang telah membayar RM13,000.

Dia berdepan dengan hukuman maksimum lima tahun penjara, jika sabit kesalahan. Shamsubahrin tidak mengaku bersalah dan majistret menetapkan ikatjamin sebanyak RM2,000, dengan tarikh sebutan ditetapkan pada 1 Mac.

Shamsubahrin faces two fresh cheating charges

Shamsubahrin Ismail, who was previously accused of cheating National Feedlot Corporation’s chairperson, today claimed trial to two separate charges of cheating, unrelated to the controversial NFC. The businessman, 45, was charged at the Tunku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang where he is warded with health complications.
 
His was first charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code with cheating a taxi driver by making the latter invest RM90,000 in a non-existent company.  Shamsubahrin (left in photo) faces no less than a year and no more than 10 years imprisonment and whipping, upon conviction. He can also be fined if found guilty. Bail was set at RM9,000 and the case was set for mention on Feb 27.

According to his lawyer N Surendran, Shamsubahrin was re-arrested on Jan 19 after his family managed to post bail of RM300,000 three weeks after he was charged with cheating NFC chairperson Mohamad Salleh Ismail of RM1.755 million.

Surendran, who is also PKR vice president, told reporters earlier that the accused has information about NFC and promised further exposes. Also present was PKR central committee member Latheefa Koya, who said that the party is concerned over the safety of the businessman.

Slapped with another cheating charge

Barely 45 minutes later, Shamsubahrin was slapped with another cheating charge at 11am, with another magistrate from the Shah Alam court, Noor Kamilah Aziz, appearing at the hospital. Shamsubahrin is accused under under Section 417 of the Penal Code with not providing a maid to an individual, after the latter had paid RM13,000.

He faces a maximum sentence of five years’ jail, upon conviction. Shamsubahrin claimed trial and the magistrate set bail at RM2,000, with the mention date fixed for March 1.

Surendran(left) had described the latest charges as ridiculous, as both charges are more like civil cases rather than criminal offences.

“I want an answer from the attorney-general on why the prosecution power been abused,” queried Surendran.

Surendran alleged there were serious attempts from someone higher-up to shut Shamsubahrin’s mouth and cover up the NFC issues.

On the basis for such  PKR claims, Surendran said he could tell from the manner that Shamsubahrin was charged at the hospital, and from the continued charges his client faces.

Shamsubahrin, who had been silent for a month after his arrest, is now lodging a report and revealing information to the police, said Surendran.  Latheefa added that the party will for call a press conference by next Monday morning pertaining to the shocking expose. However, it is not sure if Shamsubahrin will join the expose press conference then.

Latheefa also said Shamsubahrin is having diffulty in raising the RM11,000 bail, as his account has been frozen and his family are in debt to raise bail from previous charges.

“It’s is dificult for him and his family to raise the bail. If he is able to settle the bail, he should be with us (on Monday), it’s not a problem,” said Latheefa.

It is learnt that the hospital has currently ran out of beds, so he might later end up back in Sungai Buloh prison, said Latheefa. This is an all out attempt to keep Shamsubahrin busy, by digging up all the old cases so that he would not speak, she added.
