4 Port Dickson council workers charged with corruption
FOUR Port Dickson Municipal Council employees claimed trial in the Seremban Sessions Court to charges of soliciting and receiving bribes from traders between 2017 and 2020.
Azman was charged with two counts of soliciting and receiving bribes of RM400 and RM300, respectively from two traders as an inducement not to take action against them for operating their business without a valid licence at Pasar Pagi Lukut. Khairil was charged with soliciting RM1,000 from a car wash shop owner as an inducement for him to help get the support of MPPD to obtain a business licence.
All the charges were framed under section 16 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a maximum 20 years’ jail and a fine of not less than five times the value of the bribe, or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
