MELAKA: A 51-year-old businessman was slapped with a RM56,000 fine by the Sessions Court in Ayer Keroh here for acting as a "tonto (informant)" against the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and accepting graft from eight transportation companies since 2017.
The fine was imposed by Judge Elesabet Paya Wan on Tuesday (Dec 5) after the accused Norsham Ahmad pleaded guilty to 20 counts of charges of accepting RM34,855 from the eight companies over the past six years.
