KUANTAN: A married couple was charged in the Sessions Court here today with four counts of human trafficking for exploitation involving four teenage boys, just three days after appearing in the Ipoh Sessions Court for a similar offence.
They will appear in two more courts later this week on similar charges.
According to a Bernama report, Muslim Ab Karim, 56, and his wife, Zaleha Mohamad, 54, pleaded not guilty to the charges before judge Siti Aminah Ghazali at the court here today.

Jaizah said they would be charged at the Raub Sessions Court tomorrow and at the Kota Baru Sessions Court on Sunday for similar offences. Read more
