: A former chief executive officer of a private college here pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court today, to two counts of accepting bribes amounting to RM5,000 to issue an academic transcript and certificate without following proper procedures seven years ago.
Amran Mustaffa, 58, was accused to have received the bribes on Oct 21 and 24, 2015, from a male student, which was paid online through a middleman, as an inducement to issue an academic transcript and certificate of the Foundation in Science programme at Kolej Sentral without having to attend classes.
He was charged under Section 16 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 which is punishable under Section 24 of the same law which provides for a maximum jail term of 20 years and a fine of five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000, or whichever is higher, upon conviction.
Judge Datuk Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain allowed bail of RM8,000 in one surety for both charges and set additional conditions for the accused to report to the MACC office every month and surrender his passport to the court until the disposal of the case.
