Cash reward for cops who arrest anyone trying to bribe them

January 24th, 2007 Posted in Chronicles


KUALA LUMPUR: A cash reward of up to RM100 and a letter of commendation will be given to police personnel who arrest anyone who attempts to bribe them.

Acting Inspector-General of Police Datuk Musa Hassan said the reward would be for Traffic, Criminal Investigations Department and Narcotics Department police personnel. He added that the reward was to spur policemen to uphold the integrity of the force. “The reward offer is also to let our men know that we appreciate them for their honesty and loyalty. “We also hope to inculcate in our men that accepting bribes is a very serious offence and does not pay,” he added. In Kuantan, Pahang police chief Datuk Ramli Yusuff said the cash reward would be double the bribe offered and up to a maximum of RM100. Ramli told Bernama that the reward would be paid after the person who offered the bribe had been charged and the case concluded in the courts. “I will personally hand
over the reward to the police personnel concerned,” he said, adding that the incentive would be paid from the Pahang Police Fund.

Earlier, at the monthly parade held at state police headquarters, Ramli said > L/Kpl Bakri Pandak Ahmad of the Kuantan traffic police was rewarded with RM100 last month for arresting a man who had offered him a RM50 bribe.

Well well it seems that a mere RM30 or RM50 won’t get you off the hook next time you are stopped by the police. But considering that their reward is a mere RM100 max, those who still want to try could try giving an amount higher than the reward, and no, I’m not encouraging people to bribe the police or encouraging the police to accept bribes, instead I’m just pointing out the loophole that exists in this reward scheme, considering that whatever amount is ‘offered’ will still most definitely be less than the amount needed to pay for the summon, and the reward is an amount in between, things could still happen. A good effort from the force in enforcing the law and inculcating honesty in it’s people, keep it up and we might actually be able to stem some of the corruption in the country. Three cheers for honesty!!

    This must be the only country where cops are monetarily rewarded for not being corrupt.

    Haha, that I’m not too sure of, but I don’t think it will work anyway.
