Md Saifuddin Muji, 28, and Jasanizam Rosni, 33, were accused of committing the offence at a house in Taman Waja, Parit Raja, between June 26 and July 2.
They were charged before magistrate Mohd Zulhilmi Ibrahim.
If found guilty, they could face up to seven years in jail, a fine or both.
In the same court, Mohd Sanusi Satar, 31, was charged with not telling the police about the plot, which is an offence under the Penal Code.

He pleaded guilty to the hand grenade offence, which carries a maximum jail term of 14 years and at least six strokes of the rotan.
No plea was recorded for the flag possession charge, or from the other accused.
Mohd Zulhilmi set Sept 28 for mention of the cases.
