KUCHING: A former chef today pleaded not guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to a charge of cheating by offering a non-existent job in Cambodia.
Chang Ying Shiong, 24, claimed trial after the charge was read out to him before magistrate Faelly Jeffry Lanjungan.
He is accused of cheating one Chong Jun Kong by offering him a job as a chef in Cambodia last October.
The charge, under Section 415(b) of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 417 of the same code, provides for a maximum five-year jail term, a fine, or both upon conviction.
The court allowed Chang bail of RM10,000 in two sureties and ordered him to surrender his passport until the case has been settled. It set March 25 for mention of the case.
Deputy public prosecutor Merylene Lindan Andrew Mang appeared for the prosecution while Chang was unrepresented. - FMT
