BUTTERWORTH - A former sales executive pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of committing criminal breach of trust against his employer amounting to RM23,407.40 earlier this year.

R. Sutharshanan, 37, from Taman Tompoi Utama, Johor Bahru, entered the plea after the charge was read out to him before judge Norhayati Mohamad Yunus.
