When you do bad things, you get sent to jail – that’s what our parents and teachers always tell us. However, this woman may have missed the memo!
40-year-old Bao Qiong Qiong is a former civil servant in China’s Zhejiang province, and she was arrested because she accepted bribes in the form of cash and jewellery amounting to three million yuan (RM1.77mil). She was also fined 400,000 yuan (RM236,000), reported China Press.

She was in the news about the bribery and also for throwing a tantrum like a little child in prison when she said:
“I don’t want to wear ugly prison clothes, plus, there’s no hairdryer there so I can’t really wash my hair. I want to go home!”
On 1st April this year, Bao surrendered herself to the authorities along with her husband and other colleagues for bribery. She thought that she would just get reprimanded and maybe a light punishment, but she never thought that she would be going to jail.
After finding out that she was going to be charged in court and will be going to jail, she was heard saying this in the interrogation room:
“I was too stupid. Why did I take so much in bribes? What am I going to do? I don’t want to go to prison. I want to go home!”
This was revealed by the commissioner at an anti-corruption event in Hangzhou recently. He also described her as “naive” and “diva-like”.
Well, that certainly is a lot to process. So guys, if you don’t want to go to prison then don’t do anything illegal! There are no hairdryers in there and you can’t pick up the soap too!
