KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian state is fighting fire with fire in the battle against corruption, offering police a cash reward if they reject a bribe.



The reward will be equal to twice the bribe, Pahang state's police chief was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times on Wednesday. Police in the central Malaysian state must also arrest the person who offered the bribe to be eligible for the reward.


Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is leading a campaign against corruption, which has tarnished Malaysia's image in the eyes of foreign investors. Bribes are sometimes used to cut through red tape and persuade poorly paid police to look the other way.


"For instance, if a policeman arrests someone offering him 50 ringgit (seven pounds) we will reward him with 100 ringgit," Pahang police chief Ramli Yusoff said, adding that the "double reward" policy only applied for bribes under 200 ringgit. Rewards for turning down larger bribes would be decided on a case-by-case basis.


"I will personally hand over the reward to the personnel concerned," Ramli said.
