Nor Badli Munawir pleaded not guilty and claimed trial after the charges were read to him before Judge Asmadi Hussin.
Trouble is mounting for the former top executive as he had also been charged with two other counts of money laundering under the same Act, involving MYR1m, at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court earlier.
And in January, Nor Badli Munawir pleaded not guilty at the KL Sessions Court to five counts of criminal breach of trust involving over MYR2.5m.
In the most recent charge, Nor Badli Munawir was charged with money laundering by accepting cash of MYR400,000, MYR570,000 and MYR600,000 from Bicara Sepakat director Murhasmee Mukhtar on several occasions in mid-2013.
The charge under Section 4 (1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 provides a maximum fine of MYR5m or five years' jail or both if convicted.
