Two friends, including a Singaporean student, pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here, on Tuesday, to a charge of giving gratification amounting to RM90,000 last year.
Law Wen Xiang, 32, and Donavan Sia Qi Xun, 27, were jointly charged with corruptly giving gratification to a police officer at the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Johor Bahru Selatan district police headquarters as an inducement not to take action against Sia, who is a Singaporean, for an offence under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
The charge, framed under Section 17 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and punishable under Section 24 of the same law, provides a fine of not less than five times the sum or value of the gratification, or RM10,000, whichever is the higher, upon conviction.
