The prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case on both required ingredients: (1) there was insufficient and unreliable evidence to establish that the accused corruptly gave RM45,000 to the police officer; and (2) the inducement to forbear acting was not proven. Material contradictions between key witnesses, an unexplained evidential gap (failure to call the club manager/owner), admissions by the principal witness that supported the defence and lack of corroborative evidence created reasonable doubt; accordingly the accused was acquitted and discharged.
