S'porean driver jailed and fined for bribing M'sian cop

 

JOHOR BARU - A Singaporean businessman was fined RM15,000 (S$6,400) and sentenced to a day in jail by the Sessions Court here after he pleaded guilty to offering a bribe to a traffic policeman.

 

Ong Peoy Kuan, 61, offered a RM100 (S$42) bribe to Kons Muhammad Hafiz Aziz near the Lima Kedai toll plaza at about 5pm on May 30 to not take action against him for exceeding the speed limit.

 

Ong offered the bribe as Kons Muhammad Hafiz was about to issue a summons.

 

The offence under Section 17 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 is punishable with up to 20 years' imprisonment or a fine of not less than five times the bribe amount or RM10,000, whichever is higher.

 

In mitigation, Ong's lawyer G.K. Sritharan said the accused was a first-time offender and was suffering from kidney disease as well as diabetes.

 

"He has deeply regretted his actions and has fully repented," he said.

 

"He has saved the court's time and expenses by admitting to the charge."

 

DPP Abdul Ghafar Abdul Latiff argued for the maximum sentence to be imposed, saying that offering a bribe to a civil servant was a very serious offence.

 

Ong paid the fine.

[Hermitage]

Wah lan! Suay fella kenna one of the rare ON cops in bolehland!

 

Think it's better never to assume that they take bribes. Always wait for them to offer first...

Dont go in this month, unless necessary.

[Xefera]

ya. they need the extra income to buy stuff for Hari Raya celebration.

if need to, go in very early in the morning before they erect the checkpoints.

[5936]

What's your intelligence on their timing?

 

My intel told me after around 9+am. usually after their morning briefing, deployment and Kopi (normal days).

[Xers007]

1/2 to the govt 1/2 to the officer who got this guy... win win for them... so to give or not to give kopi $$$???

[Ronleo]

i remember reading a report on asiaone recently tat they caught a few singaporens giving kopi $ few mths back...

I used to have a separate wallet with only RM40 juz in case kena caught for watever reasons tat they can think of

but after reading tat article few mths back, i basically rather they gimme summon then risk going to jail...

[Tasman]

was recently stop by MY TP for speeding 120 KM/hr at second link. Saw some SG drivers did pay kopi money to settle. I refuse and in fact, demand a summon be issued. TP did not do so, but just wrote name ( from my driving card) and car number on a plain sheet of paper and then advised that summon would be mailed to me in Singapore.

I am just wonder how the TP knows my address, why not issue summon on the spot sound very fishy ????????

[Ahbengdriver]

wayang only lah. They do this to show people they dont corrupt, then after this accept bribe from every driver.

nowadays, i prefer to ask for summon if i know i didn't speed..just 2 weeks ago, i was stopped just after the NSHW going into JB.. farker says i'm speeding at 123km/h..i know i didn't speed cos i set my cruise control at exactly 110kmh, so i insisted i didn't speed. Farker after some thoughts, tell me he'll send summon over to my house..

 

I think he's just trying his luck..

[Ayotee]

but will they really send summons to your house?
