# M’sian Man Fined & Jailed 4 Weeks For Taking RM95 Bribe From Worker In S’pore

##### A Malaysian security supervisor has been sentenced to four weeks in prison.

He accepted a S$29 (approximately RM95) bribe from a Bangladeshi worker who was caught with contraband cigarettes at a foreign workers’ dormitory.

The incident took place on 22 November 2024 at Avery Lodge Dormitory in Singapore, where the 40-year-old supervisor, Tanayogaraj Nagaraji, was responsible for overseeing security.

## Bribery over a contraband cigarette

According to [Malay Mail](https://www.malaymail.com/news/singapore/2025/01/15/s29-dorm-bribe-lands-malaysian-supervisor-in-jail-for-four-weeks-in-singapore/163310#), during a raid by Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Health Sciences Authority, 34-year-old Hasan Kamrul, a Bangladeshi worker, was caught with a single contraband cigarette.

Instead of reporting the offence as required, Tanayogaraj demanded S$30 (approximately RM97) from Hasan to let him off.

Short of cash, Hasan borrowed S$14 (approximately RM45) from a friend and returned to the guardhouse, handing over S$29 (about RM95) to Tanayogaraj.

## Cleaner unveils the truth

After the exchange, Tanayogaraj used part of the bribe to buy an energy drink and hid the remaining S$27 (about RM87) under a computer mat at his workstation.

However, a cleaner at the dormitory observed Hasan borrowing money and saw the transaction, prompting the cleaner to report the incident.

When questioned, Tanayogaraj initially denied accepting the money. However, during a search of the guardhouse, authorities found the hidden S$27 (approximately RM87), leading to his arrest.

Tanayogaraj pleaded guilty to charges of bribery and unlawfully possessing Hasan’s work pass.

He was eventually sentenced to four weeks in jail and fined S$2 (approx. RM6).
