Ex-company director on RM1 million CBT charges
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — A former executive director of a construction company pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to two counts of criminal breach of trust involving more than RM1 million.

Both offences were allegedly committed at Jalan SetiaBakti 2, Plaza Damansara, Bukit Damansara here.
Judge Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh set Sept 3 for re-mention and allowed Hashmizar RM100,000 bail in one surety.
The accused’s passport was impounded by the court and he is to report to the nearest police station every first week of the month until disposal of his case. — Bernama
