  • Tengku Kamarolhisham Tengku Kamaruddin, a former deputy general manager of THP Bina, was charged with three counts of abetting criminal breach of trust involving RM72,000.
  • The money came from penalties collected from a contractor working on an office complex project in Putrajaya and was allegedly deposited into another employee’s bank account.
  • The charges followed a Royal Commission of Inquiry report on the Pilgrims Fund Board, and the accused pleaded not guilty.

A former deputy general manager of THP Bina Sdn Bhd was charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with three counts of abetting criminal breach of trust involving RM72,000.

Tengku Kamarolhisham Tengku Kamaruddin, 55, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before Judge Azura Alwi. THP Bina is a wholly owned construction subsidiary of the Pilgrims Fund Board, known as Tabung Haji.

The charges relate to money collected as penalties from contractor Fourth Wave Sdn Bhd for a development project involving an office complex in Precinct 3, Putrajaya. Prosecutors allege that Tengku Kamarolhisham intentionally instructed Nasahruddin Ahmad, then THP Bina’s safety and health manager, to misuse the funds by depositing them into Nasahruddin’s personal bank account.

The alleged offences took place at the Putrajaya Islamic Complex between April 26, 2013, and Aug. 12, 2015. The prosecution brought the charges under Section 109, read together with Section 409 of the Penal Code. A conviction can carry two to 20 years in prison, whipping and a possible fine. The case arose from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Tabung Haji.
