Both had earlier pleaded guilty to the charge read to them in Foochow dialect by the interpreter in front of Judge Nixon Kennedy Kumbong. Both of them paid the fines.
Both of them were arrested after offered the bribe to the SFC officer after their lorry laden with undocumented mangrove logs was stopped for inspection at Jalan Universiti at 8.35 am on April 23.
