BATU PAHAT: A 41-year-old foreigner who tried to bribe a policeman to avoid receiving a summons has been arrested.
District police chief Assitant Commissioner Ismail Dollah said the man was riding around Jalan Pantai around midnight when he was stopped by a policeman patrolling the area.
The policeman asked the foreigner for his license and the man was unable to produce one.
"He then took out RM70 in cash to avoid receiving a summons," Ismail said in a statement.
"Even though he was warned multiple times against offering a bribe, the man continued to do so and tried to pass the policeman the money."
The foreigner was then arrested for trying to bribe a civil servant.
"He has been handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for further investigations."
