Nor Jan Tuah escorted out of the court room in Malacca
MALACCA: The self-proclaimed sultan of Malacca claimed trial in the Sessions Court here to cheating four individuals into believing that he is the heir of the non-existent sultanate.
The accused, Noor Jan Tuah, 59, was calm when the plea was recorded over the separate charges before judge Ahmad Sazali Thursday.
He is said to have handed over “letters of appointment” to four individuals aged 35 to 66 years by proclaiming himself as the Malacca sultan.
He is alleged to have committed the offences at A’Famosa Resort in Alor Gajah here at 10pm on Dec 28, 2013.
The offence is punishable under Section 419 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum seven years' jail term or a fine or both upon conviction.
DPPs Lee Chee Thim and Ifa Sirrhu Samsudin asked the court to fix bail at RM10,000 with one surety for each offence, saying it was a high-profile case.
In mitigation, the defence counsel Surjan Singh Sidhu asked for a lesser bail amount because his client had cooperated during the investigation process.
The court allowed bail at RM8,000 with one surety for each charge and fixed Dec 21 for re-mention.
