Former Police NSman jailed for corruption

Posted: 18 January 2012 1537 hrs

SINGAPORE: A former Police National Serviceman was sentenced to 18 months' jail on Wednesday for various offences, including accepting bribes to smuggle cigarettes to an inmate in the Subordinate Courts' lock-up.

23-year-old Sulaiman Firdaus pleaded guilty to one count each of corruption, cheating and drug consumption.

The court heard that Sulaiman was a Special Constable attached to the Police Subordinate Courts Unit at the time of his offence.

Between May and June 2008, he befriended and exchanged telephone numbers with an inmate known as "Thomas", who was remanded at the Subordinate Courts' lock-up for his court hearing.

Sulaiman later received a call from a person known as "Raz" to pass cigarettes to another inmate in the lock-up on the same day as "Thomas".

The operations saw Sulaiman passing the items to the inmate, who would in turn hand them over to "Thomas".

In return, Sulaiman received S$50.

A similar incident took place a few months later, this time with the bribe increasing to S$150.

Sulaiman, who is currently working as a part-time pub bouncer, was also involved in credit card fraud in April 2010, after he purchased an iPhone worth S$1,366 using counterfeit credit cards.

He was also arrested on 31 August last year for consuming drugs.
