Yusof Abu Bakar, the former deputy director (1) of the Immigration Department, was sentenced to a total of 56 years in jail after being found to have received RM121,500 in bribes for approving the visit passes of Chinese nationals two years ago. The Sessions Court also fined him RM620,000.
The judge also allowed an application by Yusof's counsel Mohammed Azmi Mohd Said for a stay of execution pending appeal to the High Court.
Last Thursday, Abu Bakar said the defence had failed to raise a reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case and found Yusof guilty, and set sentencing for today.
Yusof was alleged to have received bribes of between RM500 and RM18,500 for each transaction from a sales manager between March 21 and June 25, 2008.
What about a million of Illegal Immigrants who obtained Mycard with bumiputra status through backdoor in Sabah?
ReplyDeleteThey created the threats to Sabah security and this is ridiculous and absolutely unfair treatment to the local Sabahan for the sake of the evil political agenda.
approving work passes for Chinese is small fry compared to giving Mykads to Filipino muslims...Dr Mahathir should be sentenced to 1,000 years jail
