Cops foil man’s attempt to dispose of body

SEREMBAN: A man drove around Nilai with the body of his girlfriend in the front passenger seat looking for a place to dispose of the corpse.

However, his effort was foiled when two police patrolmen spotted him driving his Perodua Kancil in a suspicious manner in Nilai Springs at about 10pm on Satur-day. When he realised that he was being trailed, the 30-something man sped off but the car skidded after a short chase.

The policemen discovered a fully-clothed woman in the passenger seat. The man claimed that she was unconscious. Upon checking, the patrol car crew found that the woman was dead and had strangulation marks on her neck.

Negri Sembilan CID Chief ACP Mohd Zaki Masroh said the man, believed to be an Indonesian, later admitted to murdering his girlfriend following a quarrel. — Bernama

Power thief nabbed for bribery

KUALA LUMPUR: A 60-year-old man was arrested yesterday for offering RM30,000 to a senior Tenaga Nasional Berhad officer for not taking action against him for stealing electricity supply.

The man, who owns a company based in Johor, was arrested at 1pm at a hotel in Petaling Jaya yesterday.Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief commissioner Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull believed the suspect had been stealing electricity over a long period of time."We believe that the value of the stolen electricity is a substantial amount. "Although we are still trying to determine how long he has been doing this, the value of electricity stolen shows that he must have been doing it for some time," he told the New Straits Times.The man has been stealing electricity at his business premises, Shukri added.

"His company has a factory in Johor Baru, which is where he has been carrying on his activities. "The TNB officer declined the bribe and that was when the suspect was arrested."The case is being investigated under section 17(b) of the MACC Act 2009 which deals with offering bribes.At the "Let's Make a Change, Let's Fight Corruption" campaign on Monday, MACC chief commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said the commission was now giving equal focus to bribe givers in its fight against corruption.

From 2000 until last year, 866 people were arrested for attempting to bribe civil servants and 90 per cent of them were from enforcement agencies.Since January, 16 have been brought to court or were waiting to be arrested.Under Section 17(b), those giving bribes can be jailed up to 20 years and fined not less than five times the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
