SINGAPORE: A 44—year—old Chinese national has been arrested for
overstaying and attempting to bribe six police officers.
The woman was spotted behaving suspiciously by police officers
around King George’s Avenue on Saturday.
Upon checking her documents, the officers discovered her social
visit pass had expired.
As the officers were about to arrest the woman, she offered them
money in return for her release.
When the officers rejected, the woman proceeded to ask for their
contact details and offered more money at a later date.
The officers did not succumb to her bribes and arrested her.
The woman will be charged in court on Monday for
overstaying.
If convicted, she faces imprisonment of not more than six
months, and fine up to S$4,000.
She has also been referred to the Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau for further investigations in relation to her
attempt to bribe the police officers.
