A South Korean prostitute must have missed out on the memo about Singaporean authorities and their abhorrence for corruption and bribery.
After being arrested in a vice raid on Orchard Road's Hotel Jen on June 19, 37-year-old Hwang Eunmi nonchalantly retrieved a box containing $1,550, placed it on the bed and offered the five officers to release her from custody, stating that she wanted to go back to Korea the next day.
Even after refusing the bribe (which wasn't even that big an amount), Hwang continued to persist that they take the money, The Straits Times reports. Her ploy might have easily worked on cops in other countries, but not for our boys in blue.
In court, she pleaded guilty to one charge of corruptly offering gratification to a policeman as an inducement to release her from custody and was sentenced to two months in prison.
