Ex-tactical ranger accused of accepting S$20 bribe
Posted: 02 February 2012 1112 hrs
SINGAPORE: A former tactical ranger at the National Parks Board faces a maximum fine of S$100,000, or a jail term of up to five years, or both, for allegedly getting S$20 as a bribe.
Fifty-nine-year-old Lee Hak Peng was charged in court Thursday under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
He is accused of obtaining a bribe of S$20 from Nurhidayu Mansor on March 12, 2010 at the East Coast Park.
In exchange for the money, Lee was asked not to issue Nurhidayu a summon for littering.
Lee has asked for a trial and his passport will be impounded by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.
He will face the court next week.
