IPOH: A Chinese national landed in hot water after he tried to bribe a police corporal at a roadblock near the Gopeng toll plaza.
Although the corporal waved off the money and warned him, the man repeatedly offered the RM50 note.
After the third time, the police finally arrested the 36-year-old man at the roadblock at 11.45pm on Saturday, and turned him over to the Anti-Corruption Agency at about 1pm Sunday.
“During inspection, the Chinese national approached them in a blue Proton Saga and asked police to free the three women.
“The man told them that the women were his relatives. Initial investigations reveal that he gave the bribe to exempt them from inspection,” he said in a press statement released Sunday.
It is learnt that the 54-year-old Malaysian and the three women, aged 18 to 20, only had their statements recorded as they had their personal documents with them.
