A former executive of THP Bina Sdn Bhd has been charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust involving RM72,000 belonging to the company.

Nasahruddin Ahmad, 56, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before Judge Rosli Ahmad in Kuala Lumpur. THP Bina is a construction subsidiary wholly owned by Lembaga Tabung Haji.

The charges allege that Nasahruddin misappropriated money collected as penalties from contractor Fourth Wave Sdn. Bhd. for a proposed office complex project in Precinct 3, Putrajaya. Prosecutors say he deposited the money into his personal account between April 26, 2013, and Aug. 12, 2015, at the Putrajaya Islamic Complex.

The charges were filed under Section 409 of Malaysia’s Penal Code. The provision carries a prison term of between two and 20 years, whipping and a possible fine. Nasahruddin is among the first people charged in court following the Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Lembaga Tabung Haji.
