SINGAPORE: The former commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Peter Lim has been sentenced to six months' jail.
Lim, 53, was convicted on 31 May of corruptly obtaining a sexual favour from 49-year-old Pang Chor Mui, a director at Nimrod Engineering, in May 2010.
The court found that Lim tipped Mdm Pang off about SCDF's need for radiation portal monitors before the tender was made public in April 2011.
The maximum penalty for corruption is five years' jail and a fine of up to S$100,000 on each charge.
