MELAKA -- A former police station chief with the rank of sub-inspector was fined RM6,500 by the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court here today for accepting bribes.

Abdul Halim Alias 59, had accepted the bribes from an owner of an entertainment centre, who was caught for violating standard operating procedures (SOP) during Movement Control Order (MCO).

Judge Elesabet Paya Wan meted out the fine to Abdul Halim who pleaded guilty of the charge.

Abdul Halim who was then the Tengkera Police Station chief was charged with accepting RM6,000 from an owner of an entertainment centre in Kota Shahbandar, Banda Hilir, as a bribe to avoid the latter from being prosecuted for violating the MCO.

He was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code with committing the offence at the Tengkera Police Station between 5 pm and 6.15 pm on Aug 11, 2020.

Deputy public prosecutor Haresh Prakash Somiah prosecuted, while Abdul Halim was represented by lawyer Azrul Zulkifli Stork.
