A female police officer was jailed for six months on Tuesday for accepting a $50 bribe from a colleague in return for not reporting him for theft.
Norhasidah Mohamed Said, 30, who is now nine weeks' pregnant, was also ordered to pay a penalty of $50, being the amount of bribe she took.
She was a sergeant attached to Ang Mo Kio North Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) when she went on an unauthorised raid with five others in a forested area off Upper Thomson Road on Jan 24, 2009.
Norhasidah's partner and team leader Elvilin Tay Sheo Tang, now 37, found a stack of $50 notes, 13 packets of contraband cigarettes and a few mobile phones at a living quarters. The officers managed to arrest a suspected illegal immigrant while three others escaped

over $50 for what? worth over your career and reputation?
Its not that she's stupid and accept that $50 bribe. Its going along with the colleague. When you have develope a camadarie with your colleague, you will be in a delima with this kind situation, to report or not. To play out your friend or not.
In the end, she is the one kena played out.
Certain things you cannot be chin chye.
for a $50 ....
wow it ruin it career and now in jail
how come she can go on an unauthorised raid?
There's nothing wrong with going on an unauthorised raid - police do that all the time. And we do that in dota too ^^ Come on, she had to use the $50 to pay for her. Furthermore, how can you assume that the bribery was done out of greed? Someone who would accept a $50 bribe clearly has financial problems. Perhaps her poor son needs the money to get call of duty modern warfare 3, which is of a greater meaning than wasting it on the noob shit company that only knows how to lose money. noobs.
wat kind of name is Elvilin ?
I wouldn't budge for less than $500.
how come she never get charged for the unauthorised raid?
