SINGAPORE — A lawyer, who was once a partner in top law firms, was sentenced to one year and nine months’ jail on Monday (Oct 12) for the consumption and possession of methamphetamine.

Mark Tan Teik Yu, 42, pleaded guilty earlier this year to five drug-related charges.

On March 17, 2018, he was caught at Woodlands Checkpoint with several drug utensils and a packet of at least 1.65g of meth in his car.

Authorities also found 10 slabs of Erimin-5 tablets, the street name for the hypnotic drug Nimetazepam.

Tan admitted that he had taken meth, a Class A controlled drug, at someone’s place in Malaysia in order to feel alert and awake.

He also helped his friend, Iman Hakiki Azhari, buy a box of Erimin-5 tablets.
