Ex-Teluk Datuk rep charged over RM33k in false claims
Former Teluk Datuk assemblyperson Loh Chee Heng has been charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court for fraudulently claiming funds from the Selangor state government amounting to RM33,380.
Loh, 41, was sacked from DAP in May 2016 following an internal investigation into the abuse of state funds. His appeal against the decision was unsuccessful.
According to the charge sheet, Loh was accused of claiming the funds for two functions in his constituency that did not take place.
Loh claimed trial before Justice Mohd Sabri Ismail, who set Feb 25 for pre-trial proceedings.
Bail was set at RM20,000 and the accused was ordered to surrender his passport.
The prosecution team was represented by Mohamad Suffian Ja'afar and Mohd Sabri Ismail. Loh was represented by Keppy Wong.
PH promised to apply the Rule of Law when they form the govt but time and again we see rules being applied differently to different people. As many have rightly observed, the charges against Najib are far, FAR (let me add another FAR for emphasis) worse than what this guy is facing, yet Najib gets to wear business suits, is warmly received with handshakes and does not need to be handcuffed ! Not only that, he does not even need to be in the docks ! Why are the police & courts practising double standards and why is the PH govt silent on this ???!!! What a letdown PH !
Accused charged with misusing 33k is taken HANDCUFFED away by police; top guy accused of misappropriating billions was till this day never handcuffed! Can police or powers that be explain WHY this unequal treatment?
There are still little Napoleons in the judiciary and civil service. They are carrying out their duties with skewed mindset favouring scumno after decades of toxic indoctrination by scumno and BN. The new Pakatan Harapan government should seriously revamp the whole government machinery and civil service to ensure rules and regulations are followed and duly implemented. Little napoleons if found must be transferred or sacked.
