GEORGE TOWN: An odd job worker with a previous drug conviction got a ticking off from the judge when he requested for less jail time and more strokes of the rotan after pleading guilty to two counts of drug posses-sion.

Judicial Commissioner Datuk Azmi Ariffin told Mohd Zaki Ismail (pic), 39, that he should have learnt his lesson from the first conviction in 2006 when he was jailed 12 years and given 10 strokes of the cane for cannabis possession.
