A man accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from an Islamic school in Perth has appeared in court.
Anwar Shah Wasiq Sayed is accused of falsifying federal and state government grant applications to the order of $1 million to secure funds for the Muslim Ladies College in Kenwick.
It is also alleged he stole about $350,000 from the school for his own use.
In the Perth Magistrate's Court, Mr Sayed's lawyer said his client would defend the charges.
He was released on bail and is due to appear in court again later this month.

This was overall quite a pleasing event. Despite the City of Gosnells not even responding to my email regarding photographing the event (due to the fact, i feel, that one of their sponsors was Drum Media) I managed to get my camera in A-Ok and had no problems taking pictures at the event.
Aside from those bands, there were a great many excellent performances. It was quite a hot day, and I managed to get sunburnt too. The crowd was not particularly broad - it consisted mostly of Gosnells youth. Their response to Eleventh He Reaches London was not entirely warm, but as the saying goes - people don’t generally accept what they don’t understand. The progressive, heavy melodic style of EHRL was rivaled by the hip-hop stylings of Drapht.
Let me just say - the music of Drapht definitely fits the persona of Gosnells youth.
Anyway, I’m not going to get too worked up about it. Here are a couple extra shots from the event. (photos available if you visit the here)

FMG cutbacks to lead to significant job losses
as posted here
A mining services company says a decision by Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) to terminate its contract at the Cloudbreak iron ore mine in the Pilbara will result in signficant job losses.
Brierty Limited, which is based in the Perth suburb of Maddington, says it was given the termination notice by FMG late yesterday, even though the earth works contract was not due to expire until August.
It estimates the termination of the contract will cost the company $12 million in lost revenue, but it is still budgeting for a profitable second half of the financial year.
FMG Chief Executive Andrew Forrest says the company's decision to terminate the contract was a business decision and did not reflect the quality of the services.
"They're a fantastic contractor and we had trucks and equipment which could do their job so we acted in the interests of Fortescue," he said.
