“I understand the charge; I plead not guilty and claim trial,” said the accused, who is the Chief of Staff of the Joint Forces Headquarters. The offence was allegedly committed at the Ministry of Defence, Jalan Padang Tembak, Kementah here on Nov 27, 2023. “The defence does not object to the surrender of the client’s passport to the court. However, the bail amount of RM300,000 is unreasonable, and the accused will attend court at every mention as scheduled,” he said. Suzana granted him bail of RM100,000 with one surety, with the additional condition that he surrender his passport to the court until the case is concluded.
