KUALA LUMPUR : The sessions court here has completed reading a total of 743 charges of unauthorised data modification against a former Astro employee, four months after she was first brought to court.
Nora Idayu Jaafar, 48, claimed trial to the remaining 123 charges read out before judge Suhaila Haron this morning, bringing the total to 743 charges read out over the course of five proceedings since June.
The court allowed her bail at RM32,000, ordered her passport to be surrendered, and fixed Nov 18 for mention.
Her lawyer, Daniel Annamalai, subsequently raised concerns over her health, leading the court to order a psychiatric evaluation.
