SINGAPORE : A Singapore Permanent Resident from Malaysia has been charged with trying to bribe a traffic enforcement officer.

On February 26 this year, 49-year-old Sim Miew Fee was issued a summon for illegal parking near a food court at Peace Centre, along Sophia Road.

She then allegedly offered S$20 to Mohamad Alem Shaik Abdul Aziz to cancel the summon.

Mohamad Alem, a Certis Cisco Enforcement Officer attached to the Traffic Police Department, rejected Sim's offer and reported the incident to the Certis CISCO Ops room.

The case will come before the court again on November 3.

If convicted, Sim could be fined up to S$100,000, or jailed for up to five years, or both. - CNA /ls
