Traffic police officers Sergeant Fadli Shaifuddin Mohamed Sani and Corporal Ng Ching Heng were conducting a road block along Jurong Road in July this year, when they stopped a female driver who was suspected of drink-driving.
After she failed a breathalyser test, she offered the officers $3,000 as a bribe and begged them to let her go.
The two refused her offer and took the 38-year-old woman back to the Traffic Police headquarters for a second breathalyser test.
"We had no second thoughts," said Sgt Fadli, who has been a traffic police officer for three years.
