A PROJECT engineer with a government-linked engineering and construction company was sentenced to five years' jail and five strokes of the cane on Monday for drug trafficking.

Pang Kah Yung, 36, pleaded guilty to selling a packet of 10 Ecstasy tablets to an undercover narcotics officer and consuming the drug on Aug 4 last year.

A district court heard that Pang met a Central Narcotics Bureau undercover officer, Staff Sergeant Jeffrey Lim Yu Meng, at a void deck in Bishan Street 12 that evening.
