A group of four individuals who came to have counterfeit $100 notes hatched a plan to cheat others in order to get real cash for change, a court heard.
At the State Courts on Friday (21 December), one of the culprits, Zafirah Aziz, 20, was sentenced to a year at the reformative training centre.
She pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiring to possess counterfeit money and three counts of conspiring to use counterfeit money. Another 10 similar charges were considered in sentencing.
The court heard that Muhammad Faiz Sapi’ee, 27, came into possession of 40 pieces of $100 bogus notes, although it is unclear how he came to have them.
On 15 July, Faiz told Nor Shafiyana Iswady, 20, about the notes and suggested they use it. Shafiyana agreed to give $50 to Faiz for every counterfeit $100 note she used.
Shafiyana later told Nur Qairulnisha Rosmani, 17, and Zafirah about the plan. They agreed to take part in the conspiracy.
On 22 July, Faiz gave Shafiyana five bogus notes. She went to use them with Qairulnisha, and paid Faiz $250. In return, he gave them about 10 more bogus notes.
The next day, Shafiyana and Zafirah went to a 7-Eleven store in Woodlands and used a bogus note, receiving $90 cash in genuine currency as change.
On 28 July, Shafiyana and Zafirah met Faiz and agreed to use more counterfeit money. The duo told Faiz they would give him all cash proceeds, except for coins. In return, Faiz would supply Shafiyana with methamphetamine.
Zafirah used the bogus notes to pay for drinks, sweets and cigarettes.
On 29 July, police raided Qairulnisha’s home and arrested her, Shafiyana, and Zafirah who were also there. Officers found seven bogus $100 notes.
Reformative training, a strict regime behind bars for between 18 months and three years, is a sentencing option for young offenders under 21 who are found unsuitable for probation.
The maximum penalty for possession of a counterfeit currency note is 15 years’ jail. The maximum punishment for using a counterfeit currency note is 20 years’ jail and a fine.
Faiz, Shafiyana and Qairulnisha have yet to be dealt with.
