Now it is reported by the Star on 6 January 2010
A Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) sergeant and a company director claimed trial in the Sessions Court here on Wednesday in connection with the missing two F5E jet engines.
N. Tharmendran, 42, who is still serving in the Air Force, allegedly conspired with Senior Airman Mohamad Shukri Mohamad Yusop at the Subang RMAF Air Movement Section to steal the two J8521-type engines from the Kuala Lumpur RMAF Material Processing Shed, MATRA 1, in Sungai Besi in Kuala Lumour.
The jet engines, worth an estimated RM100mil and belonging to the 12th Squadron (Scorpion) based in Butterworth, were stolen in 2007 from the RMAF godown in Kuala Lumpur.
The RMAF only discovered the jet engines missing on May 22, 2008 and a police report was lodged on Aug 4 the same year.
Also missing were maintenance and service records.
Tharmendran allegedly committed the offence in December, 2007 and was charged under Section 380 of the Penal Code, which is to be read with Section 109 of the Penal Code.
If found guilty, he could be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.
Company director K. Rajandran Prasad, 37, however was charged under Section 414 of the Penal Code for intentionally disposing of the two F-5 jet engines.
If found guilty, he could be jailed for up to seven years and fined.
Wow! A Sergeant can steal jet engine!
Wonder what a General can do?
