A 22-YEAR-OLD motorcyclist who attempted to bribe a Traffic
Police officer on Sunday was arrested.
The motorcyclist was riding along the KJE with his helmet strap
flapping when Staff Sergeant (SSgt) Ang Kok Yong signalled the
rider to stop.
After SSgt Ang had explained to the motorcyclist that he would
be booked for not securing his helmet properly, the motorcyclist
took out two ten dollar notes and offered them to SSgt Ang in
return for letting him off.
SSgt Ang immediately rejected the bribe and placed the rider
under arrest for attempting to bribe him.
The case has since been referred to the Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
Commander of Traffic Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police,
Cheang Keng Keong commended SSgt Ang for upholding a high level of
integrity. He said, 'I am proud of SSgt Ang who has held true to
the core values of the SPF. SSgt Ang is an exemplary example to his
colleagues.'
