Forklift operators in S’pore charged for bribery!!! On Dec. 11, two forklift operators in Singapore were charged for allegedly receiving small value bribes from truck drivers. The forklift operators, Chen Ziliang and Zhao Yucun, are Chinese nationals employed by Cogent Container Depot Pte Ltd. According to a press release by the Corrupt Practices Investigations Bureau (CPIB), both of them allegedly obtained bribes in exchange for not delaying the collection of containers. Chen was charged for attempting to obtain a S$1 bribe from a truck driver on Oct. 20, 2017, as well as receiving bribes from other truck drivers between May 2016 and March 2018. Chen’s counterpart, Zhao, was charged for obtaining similar bribes from truck drivers between September 2014 and March 2018. A Straits Times report mentioned that both Chinese nationals were each offered bail of S$5,000 and will be back in court on Jan. 9 next year. “Zero-tolerance approach” to corruptionThe total amount received from bribes was not stated by CPIB. However, CPIB emphasised that Singapore adopts a “zero-tolerance approach” towards corruption, and “bribes of any amount or kind will not be tolerated”: “Employees are expected to carry out their duties fairly instead of obtaining bribes in exchange for favours. Even if the bribe amount is as low as $1, they can be taken to task. Bribes of any amount or any kind will not be tolerated.” Under the Prevention of Corruption Act, any person who is convicted of a corruption offence can be fined up to S$100,000 or sentenced to imprisonment of up to five years or to both.

https://mustsharenews.com/singaporean-bribe-quarantine/ Singaporean Company Director Entering Malaysia Under RGL Arrested After Trying To Bribe Officers Malaysia is currently grappling with a third wave of Covid-19 cases since the start of Oct. Daily new cases have set a new record high, from over 800 to yesterday’s staggering 1,228 total. Given the gravity of the crisis, health and security measures have to be strictly enforced to keep the virus under control. This rule, however, was seemingly lost on a 43-year-old Singaporean entering Malaysia recently. He offered a S$33 (RM100) bribe to Malaysian officers in hopes of skipping quarantine. According to Malaysian English daily New Straits Times, the 43-year-old Singaporean company director was entering Malaysia yesterday (24 Oct) under the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) arrangement. Under this scheme, essential business and official travellers can travel between Malaysia and Singapore. The Singaporean, however, wanted to skip quarantine. He offered a Johor immigration officer a S$33 (RM100) bribe instead. At 3.50pm the same day, he was then arrested at the Johor Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) office. He will be remanded for 5 days.

Cpl Ng (left) and Sgt Fadli were manning a roadblock in July when they were offered a $3,000 bribe by a driver who failed a breathalyser test. Traffic police officers Sergeant Fadli Shaifuddin Mohamed Sani and Corporal Ng Ching Heng were conducting a road block along Jurong Road in July this year, when they stopped a female driver who was suspected of drink-driving. After she failed a breathalyser test, she offered the officers $3,000 as a bribe and begged them to let her go. The two refused her offer and took the 38-year-old woman back to the Traffic Police headquarters for a second breathalyser test. "We had no second thoughts," said Sgt Fadli, who has been a traffic police officer for three years.

Man found guilty of bribing SCDF officerPOSTED: 11 Feb 2014 14:27 A businessman was convicted of bribing a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officer in his attempt to flee a traffic accident scene. SINGAPORE: A businessman was convicted of bribing a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officer in his attempt to flee a traffic accident scene. 50-year-old Goh Choon Hee, a director of East Home Maintenance Service, was involved in a traffic accident with a taxi at the junction of Upper Serangoon Road and Hougang Avenue 2 on June 20, 2013. SCDF fire biker Sergeant Samuel Anandaraj Anthonyraj witnessed the accident and rendered assistance. Goh tried to flee the scene in his car but was stopped by SGT Samuel, who asked the accused to step out of his car. Eventually, Goh did. SGT Samuel suspected Goh was drunk. Wanting to flee the scene, Goh then tried to offer S$1,000 to the fire biker. The prosecution has urged the court to impose a three-month sentence. The maximum penalty is a five-year jail term and S$100,000 fine. Goh is expected to be sentenced on Wednesday. - CNA/ac (source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/man-found-guilty-of/992128.html )

what about the guy who gave the bribe? court case not yet or not charged. Man jailed two months for receiving bribes http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1223767/1/.html SINGAPORE : A man was jailed for two months by a district court on Monday for receiving bribes in exchange for getting his company to award a contract. 64-year-old Alex Chee Eng Huat was also ordered to pay a penalty of S$67,000 - the amount he pocketed in bribes from Applied Forwarding, a company that provides logistics, warehousing and shipping services. The court heard that Chee, who was then the head of logistics at Diethelm Singapore, had committed the offences between April 2008 and September 2009. He accepted sums of between S$4,000 and S$10,000 from the director of Applied Forwarding, 49-year-old Viswamoorthy Ramanathan. In exchange, Chee gave recommendations to his boss that landed Applied Forwarding a two-year contract with Diethelm to provide warehousing and distribution services. Cash changed hands in envelopes between Chee and Mr Viswamoorthy at Diethelm's office in Pasir Panjang or at Applied Forwarding's Senoko warehouse. Court documents also stated that Chee accepted some of the payouts with the belief that he would continue to assist Applied Forwarding in securing future contracts with Diethelm. Though Chee's lawyer argued for a stiff fine as he is a first-time offender, the prosecution said a jail term would be more appropriate, given the large sum of money involved, and the fact that the offences had taken place over a long period of time.

Is this considered bribe or the Thai did not pay those immigration officer? Until now no one can answer what practice is this? Wasn't that consider as a bribe? I don't understand why we need to give them RM1? There wasn't any signboard/instructions put up at the surrounding stating that there'll be a fee charged to tourist or processing fee or whatsoever. To me, giving money to a custom officer when he/she is on duty in order to guarantee your entrance into the country is consider a bribe, no matter how big or small the amount of money is. I'm very eager to know why Thai custom officer can ask money from people who cross the border. Can someone please enlighten me.

Newspapers a few days ago. They are raising rewards to police to RM100 for reporting bribes made to them. So if u think u can get away with a bribe of RM50 for a traffic offence, better think again. Cash reward for cops who arrest anyone trying to bribe them KUALA LUMPUR: A cash reward of up to RM100 and a letter of commendation will be given to police personnel who arrest anyone who attempts to bribe them. Acting Inspector-General of Police Datuk Musa Hassan said the reward would be for Traffic, Criminal Investigations Department and Narcotics Department police personnel. He added that the reward was to spur policemen to uphold the integrity of the force. "The reward offer is also to let our men know that we appreciate them for their honesty and loyalty. "We also hope to inculcate in our men that accepting bribes is a very serious offence and does not pay," he added. In Kuantan, Pahang police chief Datuk Ramli Yusuff said the cash reward would be double the bribe offered and up to a maximum of RM100. Ramli told Bernama that the reward would be paid after the person who offered the bribe had been charged and the case concluded in the courts. "I will personally hand over the reward to the police personnel concerned," he said, adding that the incentive would be paid from the Pahang Police Fund. Earlier, at the monthly parade held at state police headquarters, Ramli said L/Kpl Bakri Pandak Ahmad of the Kuantan traffic police was rewarded with RM100 last month for arresting a man who had offered him a RM50 bribe
