yeah....Things will only get better

Well, who says you got to pay astronomical sums of money for honest officers? I don't think TP officers are paid a lot, but well, it's the passion that drives them on.

Don't get me started on $100 being a small sum. They have yet to reach the limit and so on? It is precisely that it's a small sum, they could have closed one eye and receievd it and at the same time charge the guy. Hahaha.. that's so mean.

But well, no means no. That's great. I will never accept too.

Kudos to Sgt Norfaizal and Cpl Hairelrizal

Alleged drink-driver 'offered cops $100 bribe'
— Ansley Ng

A 27-YEAR-OLD driver nabbed for drink driving may also be charged with trying to bribe the two police officers who arrested him.

At about 20 minutes past midnight yesterday, traffic police officers Sergeant Norfaizal Yahya and Corporal Hairelrizal Hashim responded to a call about a car that had landed in a drain at a car park in Sembawang Park.

A breathalyser test revealed that the driver, who cannot be named until he has been charged, had a breath alcohol reading of nearly twice the legal limit.

The driver then tried to escape arrest by offering $100 to the two officers. Sgt Norfaizal warned him that it was an offence to bribe a public servant, but undeterred, the man took out a $100 note and repeated his offer. He was promptly arrested.

A police statement said the driver will be charged with drink driving and driving without due care and consideration.

The bribe attempt, meanwhile, has been referred to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.

Traffic Police commander Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ng Guat Ting praised the two officers for their integrity. She also warned that strict enforcement will continue against drink drivers.

The man is now out on bail.
