KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 2026 — A former Health and Safety Manager of THP Bina Sdn Bhd was charged in the Sessions Court here today with three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM72,000 in penalty funds collected from a contractor for a proposed office complex project in Putrajaya.
Nasahruddin Ahmad, 56, pleaded not guilty to all three charges, which were read separately before Judge Rosli Ahmad.
THP Bina is a wholly owned subsidiary of TH Properties Sdn Bhd, itself a subsidiary of Lembaga Tabung Haji. The company specialises in construction and project management.
The charges state that Nasahruddin, who had been entrusted with RM72,000 collected as penalties from contractor Fourth Wave Sdn Bhd in his capacity as Health and Safety Manager, allegedly committed CBT by depositing the money into his personal account.
The funds were linked to a proposed office complex development in Precinct 3, Putrajaya, covering PT 12081 (Block A – 10-storey office, Block B – 9-storey office, an auditorium and three levels of basement parking); PT 12075 (Block C – 7-storey office and two levels of basement parking); and PT 12074 (Block D – 9-storey office and two levels of basement parking).
The offences were allegedly committed at the Putrajaya Islamic Complex in Precinct 3 between April 26, 2013 and Aug 12, 2015.
The charges were brought under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment, whipping and a fine upon conviction.
Judge Rosli granted Nasahruddin bail of RM50,000 with one surety for all three charges, subject to three conditions: he must report monthly to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Putrajaya, surrender his passport to the court until the case is concluded, and refrain from interfering with or contacting prosecution witnesses.
The court fixed Oct 5 for mention.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Irna Julieza Maaras earlier told the court that an offence under Section 409 is non-bailable, although the court retains discretion to grant bail. She proposed bail of RM70,000 with one surety, together with the same three conditions later imposed by the court.
In a separate proceeding before Judge Azura Alwi, former Deputy General Manager of TH Properties Sdn Bhd and THP Bina Sdn Bhd, Tengku Kamarolhisham Tengku Kamaruddin, 55, pleaded not guilty to three charges of abetting the same offences at the same place and during the same period.
He is alleged to have abetted the offences by instructing Nasahruddin to deposit the RM72,000 into Nasahruddin’s bank account. The charges were framed under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 409.
The prosecution proposed bail of RM70,000 with one surety and the same additional conditions sought in Nasahruddin’s case.
Counsel Muhammad Naqib Aiman, representing Tengku Kamarolhisham, asked for a lower amount, citing his client’s financial circumstances. He said Tengku Kamarolhisham, now a trader, supports six children aged between 13 and 29.
Judge Azura granted bail of RM45,000 with one surety, subject to the surrender of his passport until the case concludes and a ban on contacting or interfering with prosecution witnesses.
The court also set Oct 5 for mention.
The charges come against the backdrop of MACC investigations following the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Lembaga Tabung Haji. The commission had earlier obtained remand orders against 11 individuals, including a former TH chairman, a former chief executive officer, a former minister, and several senior management personnel as well as individuals linked to related companies.
