IPOH: A customs officer was sentenced to five months jail and fined RM10,000, in default four months' jail, after he pleaded guilty in the sessions court today to a charge of demanding RM500 from an individual.
Haminuddin Mohamed Hair, 40, an assistant superintendent, had demanded the money from Sahabudin Mohamed Gani as an inducement not to take action against him for keeping and selling cigarettes on which duty was not paid.
Haminuddin, who was then attached to the MAS cargo branch at the Bayan Lepas International Airport, committed the offence at Pasar Mini Saburthan, Lot 326, Kampung Banggol Pasir, Jalan Ayer Kuning, Changkat Jering, in Larut Matang at 4pm on May 13, 2013.
