: A 41-year-old businessman broke down in tears after being fined RM20,000 in default 20 months jail by the High Court here today for five counts of bribing a Tenaga Nasional Bhd engineer to refrain from cutting off electricity supply at his premises between 2019 and 2021.
The bribes were an inducement for the engineer to not cut off the power supply at Ng’s premises for the theft of electricity and modifying the electricity meter, which are offences under Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. However, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Prosecuting Officer V. Yunaisvari asked for the court to mete out a deterrent sentence, taking into account the public interest and amount involved, to send a clear message that the law will not compromise on such offences.
