A FORMER supervisor of the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court today to a charge of falsifying documents on the receipt list for cash deposit payments to settlers two years ago.

Muhammad Aizat Ziadi, 33, from Temerloh, Pahang, made the plea before judge Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain.

He was charged with falsifying the signatures of settlers on the November 2020 paysheet cash payment receipt account list and December 2020 advance cash payment receipt account List at the Felda Sebertak office in Bera.

The charge, framed under section 464(a) of the penal code, provides an imprisonment for up to two years or a fine or both, upon conviction.

Aizat, who had since lost his job and was now working as a mechanic, was allowed bail of RM4,000 with one surety and ordered to report himself at a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office every month pending disposal of the case.

The court set May 25 for mention.
