Accepted Answer

Total Bribe Amount Received by Immigration Officer Remains Unspecified in Court Proceedings

An immigration officer, Dina Azanina Morshidi, was fined RM30,000 after pleading guilty to two alternative charges for failing to report bribery transactions totalling RM8,200. While initially facing charges related to RM109,600 in alleged bribes, the court proceedings focused on the failure to report, and the total sum of bribes received by the officer has not been definitively stated.
Initial Bribery Allegations Dismissed

Dina Azanina Morshidi was initially charged with 22 offences under Section 165 of the Penal Code for allegedly receiving RM109,600 in bribes paid in stages from another immigration officer. She also faced charges for failing to report bribery transactions amounting to RM109,600 under Section 25(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. These charges were subsequently dropped.
Alternative Charges Focused on Non-Reporting

The officer ultimately pleaded guilty to two alternative charges, both framed under Section 25(1) of the MACC Act 2009. These charges pertained to her failure to report bribery transactions. The first alternative charge involved a RM1,100 bribe received via her daughter's bank account on November 22, 2017, from a representative of Doyan Enterprise. The second alternative charge concerned a similar transaction on December 5, 2017, involving RM7,100.
Unspecified Accumulation in Daughter's Account

The case description indicated that the officer began receiving bribes in 2016, allegedly for facilitating the entry of foreigners with immigration offenses. These funds were deposited into her daughter's account, with the daughter reportedly unaware of these transactions. Investigations revealed that as of November 27, a total of RM272,452.61 had been accumulated in this account. However, the specific timeframe for this accumulation and its direct attribution solely to bribes for facilitating entry remains unquantified within the court's final judgment.
