Three Family Members Discharged but Not Acquitted in Sabah Gold Mine Fraud Case

In Kota Kinabalu, the Special Corruption Court discharged but did not acquit three family members—Datuk Lo Fui Ming, his son Lo Teck Yong, and daughter Lo Choon Fung—linked to a gold mine operation in Bukit Mantiri, Tawau. Fui Ming, former CEO of Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd, faces 24 fraud charges under Section 418 of the Penal Code for allegedly deceiving the Sabah state government by underreporting gold quantities in invoices, causing over RM1.3 million in losses.

Good mine fraud case

Teck Yong faces 24 counts of abetting the fraud under Section 109. Both could face up to seven years in prison, a fine, or both if convicted. Fui Ming and Choon Fung, a director of Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd, also face four charges for using forged documents, specifically letters dated between 2020 and 2022, as genuine. Judge Jason Juga ordered their release from the charges.
