KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — A company secretary pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court today to two charges of furnishing false information to the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) between 2021 and 2024.
On both charges, Ardzlyn Hawatul Yuhanis Uyob@Ayob, 33, allegedly to have submitted false information to the Registrar regarding Section 58 forms, titled “Notification of Change in the Register of Directors, Managers, and Secretaries”, for MB International Sdn Bhd and Ascent GT Sdn Bhd.
The offences allegedly took place at SSM’s headquarters, Menara SSM@Sentral, on December 3, 2021, and May 16, 2024.
The charges were filed under Section 593(b) of the Companies Act 2016, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to RM3 million, or both, if convicted.
SSM prosecuting officer Nurul 'Ain Shafie proposed bail of RM10,000 for each charge, while defence counsel A. Jeremy Vinesh requested a lower amount, citing that his client is the sole breadwinner for her family.
Judge Mohd Zaki Mohd Salleh granted bail at RM6,000 for both charges and set the case for mention on March 25.
