Kopitiam owner claims trial to bribery charge
JOHOR BARU: A 23-year-old kopitiam owner claimed trial at the Sessions Court here today to a charge of bribing a local council enforcement officer to avoid action against his premises. Tan Kai Dee, who owns a kopitiam in Taman Mutiara Mas, Skudai, pleaded not guilty after the charge was read out before Judge Datuk Ahmad Kamal Arifin Ismail. According to the charge sheet, Tan allegedly handed RM2,000 in cash to an enforcement assistant from the Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) as an inducement to avoid enforcement action under Section 47(1)(a) of the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, which prohibits modifications to drains without written permission from the council. The offence was allegedly committed at the restaurant at 6.20pm on Nov 4 last year. He was charged under Section 17(b) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, which is punishable under Section 24(1) of the same Act. If convicted, he faces a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine of no less than five times the bribe amount or RM10,000, whichever is higher. MACC deputy public prosecutor Ameera D'aneez Mohd Shukari requested that bail be set at RM10,000, with additional conditions to prevent the accused from fleeing. Tan's counsel, K. Barathi, urged for a lower amount, citing that his client supports his wife and both parents. The court allowed bail at RM10,000 with one local surety and imposed two additional conditions: Tan must report to the Mutiara Rini police station once a month and surrender his passport to the court. The case has been fixed for mention on Sept 17 for document submission.
