KLANG: A senior lecturer at the Multimedia University in Cyberjaya claimed trial in the Sessions Court here to a charge of bribery.

Dr Krishna Prasad Ramulapati, 52, an Indian national, was charged with taking a bribe of RM800 from a 24-year-old student at Block B, Information Technology Faculty Universiti Multimedia, Persiaraan Multimedia in Cyberjaya, as an inducement to give a better grade for Algorithmic-oriented language analysis, on June 22.

Dr Krishna Prasad Ramulapati

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested him on June 24 after the student lodged a report with the commission.

DPP Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi asked the court to set bail at RM10,000 while defence counsel Arunan Selvaraj asked for it to be RM5,000.

Sessions Court judge Yong Zarida Sazali allowed bail at RM8,000 with two sureties and set Aug 3 for mention.

Two of Dr Krishna Prasad’s colleagues posted bail and stood as sureties.

The lecturer has been with the varsity for two years and his contract was to have been renewed this month.

Dr Krishna Prasad, who was clad in khaki-coloured pants and a simple shirt, used an old white towel to shield his face from cameramen until he was whisked away from the court entrance in a rented Mercedes Benz.

Under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, he faces a 20-year jail term, or a fine of five times the bribe amount or RM10,000, whichever is higher, if found guilty.

Sex to pass exams' lecturer arrested in Malaysia: report

Malaysian authorities have arrested a lecturer who is accused of demanding sex and money from students in return for giving them pass grades in exams, a newspaper report said Thursday.

The unnamed university lecturer from Selangor state, described as a foreigner in his 40s, was arrested after a 24-year-old student lodged a complaint to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the Star newspaper quoted investigation head Mohamad Shukri Abdull as saying.

ACC officials could not be reached for immediate comment.

According to the report, the lecturer was said to have approached the victim and told her she did not score a high enough grade in the qualifying exam to continue her Master's degree.

He is then alleged to have demanded sex and money from the student in return for giving her an improved grade, but was refused by the woman, according to the report.

Searching the MMU FIT staff list, he is in there.
