The Myanmar national was afraid when he heard the word "police" and impulsively offered the bribe, said his lawyer.
Myanmar national Aung Moe Hlaing was sentenced to 12 days’ jail on Oct 22 after he pleaded guilty to one charge under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
At around 9.40am, they saw Aung Moe Hlaing throwing a cigarette butt into the drain and informed him that he had committed an offence of littering. She told him that if he did not have any identification on him, she would have to call the police to “come down and verify particulars”. In footage from the officer’s body-worn camera, Aung Moe Hlaing can be seen putting his hands together and gesturing as he asked the officers for another chance.
