KUALA LUMPUR: A 56-year-old lawyer has been ordered to enter his defence by a Sessions Court on two counts of bribery.

Justice Rozilah Salleh said the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against Ranjit Singh and fixed Feb 9 and 28 for him to enter his defence.

Ranjit was accused of receiving RM40,000 from Dr Chong Kuck Meng, 46, in relation to a police investigation against Dr Chong, who was being investigated for criminal intimidation.

He allegedly committed the offence at the lobby of Le Meridien Hotel here at about 11.45pm on April 22, 2005.

Ranjit was also accused of receiving a RM7,000 bribe from Dr Chong at Restoran Twin Happiness in Slim River, Perak, at about 8.30pm on June 28, 2005.
