SINGAPORE: A driver working in Singapore was charged on Thursday (Feb 27) for bribing an enforcement officer to get out of a parking summons, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a news release.
Chinese national Wang Baoyu, a 40-year-old work permit holder, is accused of offering S$50 to a former Certis CISCO auxiliary police force enforcement officer Mr Muhammad Ridhwan Razali after being caught parking illegally.
