ALOR SETAR: A Customs assistant superintendent was charged in the Sessions Court here today with asking for and receiving a bribe.

Lee Kuang Guan, 52, is accused of asking for RM440 from A.Sinappayen as an inducement not to take action against him for bringing out from Langkawi liquor with unpaid duty.

Lee, who worked in the passengers inspection unit at the Kuah jetty in Langkawi, is said to have asked for the bribe through the phone at 10.10am on March 26 last year.

He was also charged with receiving the bribe in the toilet of the departure hall of the Kuah jetty at 2.30pm the same day.

On both counts, Lee faces a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine of RM10,000 or five times the value of the bribe, whichever is higher, under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act 2009.

Judge Mohd Rosli Osman set bail at RM8,000 in one surety after Lee pleaded not guilty, and fixed Oct 11 for mention. -- BERNAMA
