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 )

Think twice before giving kopi $$ to the M'sia traffic cops... 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.

Vietnamese plumber fined RM10,000 over RM75 bribe By FARIK ZOLKEPLI [email protected] JOHOR BARU: A 30-year-old Vietnamese man felt the full weight of the law when he was slapped with a RM10,000 fine and one week's imprisonment by a Sessions Court here for attempting to bribe a policeman with RM75. Plumber Vu Dinh Thuan was charged with offering the bribe to Konst Mohd Safwan Sallehhuddin at Jalan Leong Bee in Gelang Patah at 8.35am on Jan 24. The bribe was an inducement to not take action against him for not having a valid motorcycle licence. Vu Dinh pleaded guilty. When asked if he had anything to say before the court imposed sentence, Vu Dinh broke down and cried, and appealed for a lesser sentence as his wife just gave birth and he was the family's sole breadwinner. "This is also my first offence after working in this country for six years. I do not earn much and I have a family and an ailing father to support," he said. However, prosecuting officer Ridzuan Abd Malik asked the court to impose a sentence commensurate with the offence. Judge Salawati Djambari sentenced the accused to seven days' imprisonment and a fine of RM10,000, of which he could face a further 10 months in prison in default. The charge was classified under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a sentence of not more than 20 years' imprisonment and a fine of not less than five times the amount of bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, Vu Dinh, who was riding a motorcycle, was stopped by Konst Mohd Safwan, who was attached to the Nusajaya district police mobile patrol squad. The policeman discovered the accused did not have a licence and was about to issue a summons when Vu Dinh took out RM75 as a bribe. Konst Mohd Safwan refused the bribe and warned the accused to keep the money as bribery was a major offence, but the accused persisted. He was detained on the spot. As of press time, the accused had not paid the fine
