The Alor Setar High Court upheld a 16-year jail sentence and a RM 20,000 fine against a 58-year-old policeman for soliciting and accepting a bribe six years ago. The judgement was made by Judge Chan Jit Lin after she dismissed Corporal Sazali Hashim's appeal against his conviction and sentencing. The accused - who was attached to the Kuah police station in Langkawi, was found guilty on two counts of soliciting and accepting a bribe of RM 150 from a man. The money was an inducement for the cop to not take action against the same individual for allegedly having ketum water in his possession and for the return of his identification card. Sazali was charged with committing the offences at a restaurant in Kuah in October 2012. The charges under the MACC Act carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years and a fine five times the bribe amount or RM 10,000, or whichever higher.
