SINGAPORE – Eight Singaporean taxi drivers operating under the cross-border taxi scheme have been arrested for alleged bribery to avoid punishment by Malaysian enforcement officers for their traffic offences, said the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
The taxi drivers, aged between 47 and 74, are alleged to have given the bribes to avoid enforcement action against them for driving in the bus lane along the Woodlands-Johor Bahru Causeway, said CPIB.
They were arrested on March 30.
Investigations are ongoing for the arrested individuals for alleged offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act, said CPIB.
