Woman offers RM2,500 bribe to get colleague sacked

A Chinese national working in Singapore who offered a S$1,000 (RM2,500) bribe to her superior to recommend the dismissal of her colleague was fined S$2,500 (RM6,200) on Thursday.

Tan Yanli, 35, a former guest service agent, admitted to offering the bribe to Tan Sok Lan, a manager at Marina Bay Sands, in return for recommending the dismissal and repatriation of Sun Chuanling on Aug 16.

Sun was Tan's room-mate.

The court heard that their relationship deteriorated over a series of disputes.

On Aug 16, Tan sent a text message to her boss to get her co-worker repatriated to China.
