Engineer gets a month’s jail, RM210,000 fine for bribery
THE Kuantan Sessions Court today sentenced an engineer from the Public Works Department to a month’s jail and fined him RM210,000 on a charge of accepting bribes amounting to RM42,000 in 2013.
The court also ordered the accused to serve the jail sentence starting today and ordered the accused to serve another 10 months in jail if the fine was not settled. The centre’s main objective is to provide assistance to Bumiputera contractors who wish to tender for public sector projects while the centre classifies contractors by classes F to A.
The accused was charged under section 17 of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission Act 2009, which provides for a maximum jail sentence of 20 years and a fine of five times the bribed amount or RM10,000 whichever is higher.Earlier, Shaiful’s counsel, Mohd Baharuddin Ahmad Kassim, pleaded for a lighter sentence because he has been suspended from his job and receives only RM2,500 a month, and he has two school-going children.
