Evidence established the appellant held RM300,000 in her firm's client account as stakeholder in a sale and purchase transaction and released the funds without proper authorization; the transaction was not a disguised loan; therefore the appellant, as agent entrusted with the property, committed criminal breach of trust under section 409 Penal Code and the conviction and three‑year sentence were correctly imposed and affirmed.
