Ex-Melaka Youth and Sports director charged with accepting RM4,000 bribe
JOHOR BARU: The former director of the Melaka Youth and Sports Department was charged in the Sessions Court here today with two counts of accepting bribes totalling RM4,000, allegedly committed two years ago. The accused, Khairul Adri Rosli, 51, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before Judge Datuk Ahmad Kamal Arifin Ismail. According to the charge sheet, Khairul Adri was accused of receiving RM4,000 from a representative of a repair contractor company, transferred through the company's account into the account of a woman with connections to his official duties. The money was allegedly linked to repair works involving the construction of a guardhouse at the Melaka Youth and Sports Complex, valued at RM49,950. The offences were allegedly committed at two different banks in Tampoi and Permas Jaya on Jan 6, 2023, and Feb 16, 2023. For this offence, he was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which carries a punishment of up to two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Siti Asmah Zainal Ariffin proposed bail of RM7,000 for both charges. Khairul Adri, who was represented by Nurashidah Md Razip, appealed for a lower amount, stating that his client is also facing five charges in the Melaka Sessions Court on June 17, for which bail was set at RM20,000, and he had also pleaded not guilty in those cases. However, Ahmad Kamal set bail at RM6,000 for both charges with one local surety. The court rejected the defence's request to apply the same bail granted in the Sessions Court and fixed Aug 29 for mention and document submission.
