Protection Offered for Bribes Received by Inspector

A police inspector pleaded not guilty to eight charges of accepting bribes totalling RM4,000, allegedly in return for protecting the business operations of Tang Buan Seng Credit Sdn Bhd. The alleged offences occurred in the Tuaran district between December 24 and November 23, 2021, with each bribe amounting to RM500 transferred into the inspector's bank account.
Inspector Charged with Bribery

Liffindy Zubin, a 45-year-old inspector attached to the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Tuaran District Police Headquarters, denied all eight charges. Each charge specifies that he corruptly obtained RM500, with the funds being transferred into his bank account by an individual.
Alleged Bribery Scheme

The bribes were purportedly received in exchange for providing protection to the business of Tang Buan Seng Credit Sdn Bhd. This alleged corrupt act occurred within the Tuaran district over a period spanning from December 24 to November 23, 2021.
Legal Ramifications and Bail Conditions

The charges are framed under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. Conviction under this section carries a severe penalty, including imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher. The court granted Liffindy Zubin bail set at RM10,000 with a local surety.
Court Proceedings and Next Steps

In addition to the bail, the inspector was ordered to report to a MACC office every two months and to surrender his travel documents to the court. The case has been fixed for mention on May 7. The prosecution was led by MACC Prosecuting Officer Nur Sabrina Ali, with the accused represented by lawyers Datuk Ram Singh and Chen Wen Jye.
