A primary school headmistress was charged in the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court with dishonest misappropriation of the contribution amounting to RM5,000. 57-year-old Zabidah Sulaiman was accused of using the fund, contributed by Syarikat Ladang Rakyat Terengganu Sendirian Berhad, for distribution to 100 students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Cheneh Baru Dua, Kemaman. The offence was allegedly committed in July 2015, when she was the head of the school. Zabidah, who is now the headmistress of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pasir Gajah in Kemaman, claimed trial when the charge was read out before judge Mohammad Haldar Abdul Aziz. She faces imprisonment for up to five years, whipping and fine, if found guilty. February 11th has been set for re-mention of the case.
