Former Felda supervisor gets six months' jail, RM8,000 fine for falsifying documents

KUANTAN: Muhammad Aizat Zaidi was entrusted by the Felda management to pay salaries to the settlers at Felda Sebertak in Bera, but instead he used the cash to invest in forex trading three years ago.

The former Felda supervisor pleaded guilty when the amended charge was read before Sessions Court judge Datuk Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain here today.

The court sentenced him to six months' jail and a RM8,000 fine in default for three months' jail.

The 34-year-old was charged with falsifying the signatures of settlers on the November 2020 Paysheet (PS) Cash Payment List and December 2020 Advance Cash Payment Receipt (PT) List with the intention to mislead the management into believing that the settlers had signed the documents as proof that they had received the PS and PT payments from him.
