Fisherman fined RM10,000 for bribing maritime officer
ALOR STAR: A fisherman was fined RM10,000 by the Sessions Court here after pleading guilty to an alternative charge of attempting to bribe a senior officer from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA). Jamri Abdul Razak, 28, made the guilty plea before Judge N, Priscilla Hemalini, today. He settled the fine immediately. According to the facts of the case, Jamri had offered RM5,000 in cash to a senior assistant director from the agency on June 22, 2022. The bribe was intended as an inducement for the officer to release seven undocumented migrants who had been detained under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for entering and remaining in Malaysia without valid passes or permits. The offence was committed at the Kedah/Perlis MMEA office in Langkawi. The offence falls under Section 214 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 10 years, or a fine or both, if convicted. The prosecution was handled by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Mohd Zulfadli Azharudin, while the accused was unrepresented. The court also ordered the RM5,000 in bribe money to be forfeited to the government through the MACC.

Two foreign nationals detained at KLIA for illegal entry attempt
SEPANG: Two foreign nationals were detained at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2 yesterday afternoon after failing to provide valid entry records. The Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) stated that the men, aged between 30 and 40, were from India and China. They were stopped during immigration checks around 5 pm when officers noticed suspicious security stamps on their passports. Further checks through the MyIMMs system confirmed no entry or exit records for both individuals. 'Ironically, the stamps on their passports indicated entry via Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS in Kedah and Sultan Abu Bakar ICQS in Johor,' said AKPS. Both suspects were detained under reasonable suspicion of violating the Immigration Act 1959/63. They are currently held at the KLIA Terminal 2 Immigration Depot pending further investigation. The case has been handed over to the Selangor Immigration Enforcement Division. AKPS is investigating possible syndicate involvement and warned of disciplinary action against any complicit officers. - Bernama
