Mohd Khairudin Ali Amran runs an electrical wiring company and promised to deliver six smart televisions. The 40-year-old man took money from worried parents who wanted the best for their kids. Judge Zulhazmi Abdullah made him pay 10,000 ringgit for his dishonest scheme. The courtroom drama unfolded when Khairudin admitted his guilt without fighting the charges. Parents trusted Khairudin to supply six large Philips televisions for their school. The sneaky contractor collected 20,000 ringgit from the Parent-Teacher Association last year. He delivered only four televisions instead of the promised six units. The missing televisions left parents angry and students disappointed. School officials discovered the shortage and reported the matter to police immediately. The judge warned Khairudin about serious consequences if he refuses to pay up. Five months behind bars awaits him if the fine remains unpaid. Legal experts say the Penal Code allows courts to jail cheaters for up to five years. Khairudin begged for mercy and told the court about his family troubles. He supports his wife, two children, and elderly mother on his business income. One of his children lives with a disability and needs special care. Deputy prosecutor Noor Azura Zulkiflee handled the case for the government. The offense happened at a local school on May 26, 2023. Courts take fraud cases seriously when they involve educational institutions. Parents work hard to raise funds for their children's schools. [/QUOTE]
