A logistics executive was slapped with a RM5,000 fine or two months’ jail by a Sessions Court here after he admitted to bribing a policeman in an attempt to avoid receiving a summons for driving without a valid road tax.
R. Segarananthan, 27, pleaded guilty to an alternative charge under Section 214 of the Penal Code before judge Asmadi Hussin here yesterday.
Before sentencing the accused, the judge chided him for his reckless act of driving his car without a road tax.
“It is dangerous to drive around without a road tax. What would happen if there was an accident and someone died or became paralysed?
“You are lucky that you pleaded guilty to an alternative charge, otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate to send you to jail,” said Asmadi.
Segarananthan had bribed Sjn Mohd Amir Yassin from IPD Klang Selatan traffic police station with RM50 as an inducement for the policeman not to issue him a summons for driving his car without a road tax in Jalan Batu Ujur, Klang, at 10pm on July 23.
