HR Executive Fined RM5,000 for Using Fake Invoice in Malaysia

In a significant ruling, the Sessions Court in Kuala Terengganu has imposed a RM5,000 fine on a Human Resources and Administration Executive for her involvement in using a fraudulent company invoice. Maslidah Mohamad, 45, admitted guilt to the charge, which dates back to January 2023, bringing a swift conclusion to the legal proceedings.

The court, presided over by Judge Azman Mustapha, handed down the sentence after Maslidah's guilty plea was formally recorded. The charge specifically relates to the use of a false document in connection with a company's invoice claim, an act that occurred while she was employed at Pejabat Permint Plywood Sdn. Bhd. in the AMBS Industrial Area, Bandar Al-Muktafi Billah Shah.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of financial impropriety in the workplace. The swift resolution and the imposition of a fine underscore the judiciary's stance against the use of fraudulent documents, particularly in corporate settings. The RM5,000 penalty reflects the seriousness of the offense while acknowledging the accused's guilty plea.
