JPJ Officer Jailed And Fined For Bribery
A Road Transport Department enforcement assistant was jailed a year and fined RM20,000 on two counts of bribery.
Norazha Izwan Mohd Aripin, 27, was found guilty by the Sessions Court here after he was called to enter his defence on both charges.
Judge Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain held that the defence had failed to raise a reasonable doubt in the prosecution’s case.
“The court found that the accused’s defence was a mere denial. It is an afterthought,” he said in his judgment.
Pleading for leniency, his lawyer Mohd Shahrullah Khan Nawab Zadah Khan said his client, whose wife was pregnant, was remorseful of his action and was a first offender.
Prosecuting officer Mohd Nur Lokman Samingan asked for an appropriate sentence to serve as a lesson for others and to take into account public interest.
Norazha Izwan was convicted of asking a bribe of RM1,000 from Ooi Aik Keng as an inducement not to take action against him for an expired road tax offence near a petrol station in Jalan Kuching at 5pm on Jan 4 last year.
He faced a second charge of trying to obtain a bribe of RM1,000 from Ooi for the same offence in front of a bank in Setapak at 8pm on the same day.

Ex-Immigration DG’s Acquittal of Bribery Charges Upheld
The High Court here upheld the decision by a Sessions Court to acquit Former Immigration Department director-general Datuk Wahid Md Don (pic) of charges of bribery.
Meeting his lawyer outside the court, Wahid, 59, thanked his counsel Datuk V Sithambaram for finally clearing his name.
"I had full faith in the judiciary system and am very grateful of the decision today," said a smiling Wahid.
The Session Court here acquitted Wahid of his charges on Oct 15 2010, however the MACC filed an appeal against the decision on Oct 18.
Wahid had pleaded not guilty on Aug 19, 2008, to having agreed to accept a RM60,000 bribe from businessman Datuk Low Chang Hian as part payment to expedite the approval of visa applications for 4,337 Bangladeshis, to enable them to enter Malaysia.
He was accused of committing the offence at Jalan Lembah Ledang, off Jalan Duta here, at 10.15pm on July 10, 2008, while still a director-general.
Low, who is the key witness, had admitted during the trial that a meeting was arranged by the then Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) on July 10, 2008, to trap Wahid.
He also agreed with Sithambaram's suggestion that Wahid had never asked for RM60,000 at anytime and admitted that he had been given the option by ACA to be either a witness in the trial or risk being charged in court.
