The remaining 58 charges were taken into consideration by the court under Section 171A of the Criminal Procedure Code as part of a plea bargain submitted by the defence.
Previously, the accused was brought before the Kuantan Sessions Court on Aug 24, 2023, to face 98 charges of receiving bribes amounting to RM31,400. – Bernama

Jailed seven times, repossessor caught again in drug operation
SHAH ALAM: Despite having been jailed seven times for various crimes, including drug offences, a 37-year-old motorcycle repossessor showed no signs of remorse after being caught again during a joint operation along the Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas) last night. He was one of three individuals detained by the National Anti-Drug Agency (Nada) after testing positive for methamphetamine during the Selangor Road Transport Department's (RTD) 'Op Pengarah' operation. The man had only been released from Kajang prison in March this year after serving time for drug use. "At the time I was arrested, I was with a friend heading to Batu 3, Shah Alam, to repossess a motorcycle with outstanding payments," he said. "I've been using syabu for the past two years and was sentenced to four months under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. "I've been in prison seven times, including for robbery and criminal intimidation," he revealed, while in handcuffs under the custody of Nada personnel. The man also admitted that he had never undergone rehabilitation at any Nada centre. His friend, a 34-year-old lorry driver from Inanam, Sabah, also tested positive for the same drug. He claimed to have started using syabu at the age of 13 and could now obtain it for as little as RM20. "I also work part-time in motorcycle repossession. I return to my village once a year to see my wife and two children. "Of course, I want to change, but I haven't found the way yet," he said.
