According to the charge sheet, 36-year-old Chan Yee Seong gave a RM500 bribe to a Kluang Municipal Council enforcement officer to avoid getting a compound for failing to adhere to a notice under Section 109 of the Local Government Act 1976 for operating during the MCO period.He was charged under Section 17 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which is punishable under Section 24 of the same Act.
If convicted, he could face a maximum of 20 years in jail and a fine not less than RM10,000 or five times the amount of the bribe.His lawyer Chuah Shyue Chien asked for a lower bail as Chan has two elderly parents to support and his business was badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.The case was prosecuted by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Prosecution officer Ikhwan Ihsan Jalaludin.
Ah... the Malaysian way to get out of trouble; pay for more when you can get a warning. This idiot REALLY should get his 3lb grey matter rebooted TrustNoOne
Huh? 'Bribe'? Did his lawyer advised him to say 'donation' instead?
