KUALA LUMPUR: A woman pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of cheating a businessman over the delivery of 21 units of imported used cars six years ago.
Nur Luzianna Mohd Ramalan, 36, was charged with cheating Abdul Wahab S Mohd Mydin, 55, by deceiving the man into believing that she could provide the cars, thus prompting him to make a payment of RM1,409,000 into two bank accounts belonging to her.
