The accused is alleged to have committed the offence at Seek Education Sdn Bhd, Plaza Mont Kiara in Brickfields between June 1, 2018, and April 12, 2022.

She is charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of between one and 14 years, and is liable to a fine or whipping upon conviction.

Judge Azrul Darus allowed Syuhada bail of RM20,000 in one surety and set May 21 for the case’s mention.

DPP Akmalzatul Mohamed Nawi and Muhammad Aiman Azahan appeared for the prosecution while counsel Ahmad Ikram Ab Alim represented Syuhada.
