Malaysian in the soup for offering S$50 bribe to traffic cop

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11, 2025: A Malaysian maybe fined RM370,000, five years jail or both for offering S$50 bribe to a policeman in Singapore.

Lee Keh Meng, 44, was charged in a Singapore court for allegedly offering a bribe to a traffic policeman.

The Singapore Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a statement that Lee allegedly offered S$50 (about RM185) on Oct 23 as an inducement not to report a case involving an unauthorised cross-border ride-hailing service.

Malaysians are reminded that Singapore is unlike corrupt Malaysians and Malaysia where one can easily offer or receive bribes, and get away.

And the higher public office one holds in Malaysia, the easier to enrich oneself, like Malaysia’s disgraced and shameless former prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak.

That is why Malaysia is listed as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

 A Malaysian man has been charged in a Singapore court for allegedly offering a bribe to a traffic policeman.

The Singapore Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a statement that the accused, Lee Keh Meng, 44, allegedly offered S$50 (about RM185) on Oct 23 as an inducement not to report a case involving an unauthorised cross-border ride-hailing service.

The bribe was rejected, and the matter was subsequently referred to the bureau by the Singapore Police Force.

“Lee offered a bribe of S$50 to Sergeant Ahmad Hafiz Bin Abdul Sukur as an inducement not to report the unauthorised ride-hailing case.

Lee Keh Meng allegedly did so to persuade the traffic police, Ahmad Hafiz Bin Abdul Sukur, to not report a case of unauthorised cross-border ride-hailing service on Oct. 23, 2025. Hafiz rejected the bribe.

“Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach towards corruption. Any person convicted of a corruption offence under Section 6 of the Prevention of Corruption Act can be fined up to S$100,000 (around RM370,000), sentenced to imprisonment for up to five years, or both,” the statement read.

Lee faces one charge punishable under Section 6(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

CPIB added that it investigates all corruption-related complaints and reports, including anonymous ones. It can be contacted via e-Complaint, email at report@cpib.gov.sg, phone at 1800-376-0000, or by mail at CPIB Headquarters, 2 Lengkok Bahru, Singapore 159047.

The bureau advised that reports should ideally include details such as where, when, and how the alleged act occurred, the parties involved and their roles, and information on any bribes or favours offered.

“The identity of complainants will be kept confidential, except when the court finds a false statement has been made.

“Individuals may also choose to report anonymously,” the statement added.
