IPOH: An 18-year-old teenager was arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) when he tried to bribe a Road Transport Department (RTD) officer with RM50 to get his driver's licence test passed.
It is learnt that the bribe was offered in return for the RTD officer letting him pass the Class D driving licence test taken by him at a driving test academy in Kuala Kangsar, yesterday morning.
Perak MACC director Ahmad Sabri Mohamed said the teenager's offer was turned down by the RTD officer, who then made a report to the MACC.
He said the teenager was arrested at 1pm on the same day when he appeared at the MACC headquarters here to give a statement and was released after his statement was taken.
The case is being investigated under Section 17 (b) of the MACC Act 2009.
