KOTA BARU – A labourer pleaded guilty at the sessions court here today to 19 counts of unauthorised access of computer materials, resulting in the theft of RM79,000 from a Tabung Haji (TH) account.
Wan Mohamad Nadzir Wan Zahari, 27, made the plea after the charges were read out to him before judge Ahmad Bazli Bahruddin.
