Immigration officer, wife charged with graft involving RM5,400

MALACCA: An Immigration officer and his wife were jointly charged at a Sessions Court here Wednesday with four counts of receiving RM5,400 bribe from a woman two years ago.

Marzuan Sungep, 57, and Norizan Hashim, 41, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them before Judge Norma Ismail.

They allegedly committed the offences at four separate locations here between 12.30pm on Nov 13, 2014 and 10.30pm on Nov 17, 2014.

The charges framed under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and a fine not less than five times the amount or value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher upon conviction.

The bribe was meant for the woman, Helmida Mukhlis, to get a valid work permit without the need to go to the Immigration Department office.

Judge Norma fixed June 13 for mention and set a bail of RM15,000 with two-sureties for each accused. MACC deputy public prosecutor Ong Cheng Hian prosecuted while both accused were unrepresented.
