SHAH ALAM, Nov 12 — A man who went viral for impersonating an aide-de-camp (ADC) to the Raja Muda of Selangor pleaded guilty at the Magistrate’s Court here today to cheating over a used-car sale worth more than RM30,000 earlier this year.
Al Zulfadly Alias, 40, made the plea after the charge was read out before Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin.
The accused was charged jointly with Nurul Nur Syahirah Kamarudin, 37, but the woman pleaded not guilty to the offence.
The pair allegedly induced a 43-year-old man to deceive a 48-year-old victim by convincing him that the accused could manage the purchase of a used Honda CRV obtained from an Asean Summit auction for RM33,000.
The offence was allegedly committed at a premises here between May 13 and May 14.
The charge was framed under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 420 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum jail term of 10 years and caning, and is also liable to a fine.
Al Zulfadly was represented by Nur Alia Zaheera Mohd Faizal of the National Legal Aid Foundation, while Nur Syahirah was represented by Shah Rizal Abdul Manan.
Deputy public prosecutor Nur Amirah Zahari offered bail of RM40,000 for both accused, but Alia and Shah Rizal sought the minimum amount for their respective clients.
The court then allowed bail of RM10,000 for both accused, fixing November 20 for the mention of sentencing and the facts of Al Zulfadly’s case.
Nurul Nur Syahirah’s case is set for mention on January 19 next year. — Bernama
