Cheating company director of RM1.1 million

A businessman was charged at the Sessions Court here today with three counts of cheating a company director of RM1.1 million involving an investmet on an iron ore business in Sumatera, Indonesia.

Wong Lee Wah, 58, from Taman Sri Andalas, Klang, however, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read to him before Judge Aslam Zainuddin.

Wong was charged with cheating Chin Kin Phen, 62, into believing that he (Wong) could manage the iron ore business in Sumatera, and thus prompting Chin to bank in RM100,000 and later RM700,000 into his (Wong's) CIMB Bank account.

Wong was alleged to have commited the offence at EON Bank in Jalan Kapar, Klang, on Aug 9, 2010 and Aug 23, 2010.

He was also charged with cheating Chin with the same excuse which prompted Chin to give him a cash cheque of RM300,000 on July 2, 2010.
