Chan Chan Suit Seong didakwa sogok pegawai JAS RM15,000 agar tidak ambil tindakan terhadap premis e-waste tidak berlesen.
Today, a woman was fined RM75,000 by the Shah Alam Sessions Court after admitting guilt for giving RM15,000 in cash to a Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) officer to avoid legal action against her e-waste processing premises. The judge, Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud, sentenced Chan Suit Seong, 60, to the fine, with the possibility of two years in prison if she fails to pay it.
She is charged with bribery, alleging she provided the cash to an around-alternate-environment officer in exchange for not taking legal action against her premises for allegedly violating the Environmental Quality Act 1974 due to lack of a premises license. The offense is alleged to have occurred at a site involving three plots of land at Revolusi Hijau Batu, Johan Setia, Klang around 12:30 pm on February 25 last year.
The prosecution was conducted by SPRM Enforcement Officer Muhammad Arif Asyraf Mohd Khairi, while the defendant was represented by lawyer S Preakas. The court also ordered the RM15,000 fine to be remitted to the government through the SPRM Enforcement Head. This case is part of Operation Nature 6.0 conducted by SPRM Selangor.
