'Bomoh' fined RM2,000 for cheating client of RM25,500

PETALING JAYA: A "bomoh" on the run for seven years after defrauding his client of RM25,500, was fined RM2,000 by the magistrate's court yesterday. Raja Mohd Suhaimi Raja Abu Bakar, 50, pleaded guilty to cheating customer service officer Habibah Mat Yit, 56, by showing her grant of land supposedly for sale. On May 2005, the complainant sought treatment from Suhaimi due to disturbance by spirits. Grateful for his service, she helped him settle his debts by giving him a loan. She had withdrawn money from her Tabung Haji account, borrowed from her sister and Bank Rakyat for that purpose. The accused had promised to repay her through proceeds from a land sale and had shown her the land grant. When he could not be traced on Aug 2005, she realized she had been duped and lodged a police report.
