KUALA LUMPUR - A MALAYSIAN man apparently fearing he had too much to drink tried to play it safe by bribing a policeman to avoid a breath analyser test.
It turned out he passed the test, but was fined for bribery.
Aw Cheng Fatt offered a police officer RM50 (S$21.7) after his car was stopped at a police check point for drunk driving three years ago, The Star reported on Wednesday.
The alcohol screening test showed the man's blood level was in fact within the permissible limit.
However, Aw wound up getting arrested for corruption and was fined 1,000 ringgit in court on Tuesday, the report said.
Court and police officials could not immediately be reached to confirm the report.

Wrong! The ONLY problem here is that the bribe was too small. Maybe RM200 could have done the trick.

majority M sian police are corrupted. It starts from very top level too. see news about a high ranking policeman who got investigated for possible corruption. He was told to resign but said he would not as he only have few month to go before he retires. -Andrew
