I suspect we are already the regional headquarters.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Singapore is less than 2 hours from the Golden Triangle by flight, where most of this region's heroin and morphine come from. All our neighbouring countries along this route Thailand, Malaysia) have death sentences for drug trafficking. If Singapore abolishes the death penalty for drug offences, we will become the regional headquarters for the illicit drug entreport trade.

no lah its either kill him or make him do work then throw him outside.....Originally posted by dragg:jail term is enough because the drugs he carried were not meant for singaporeans.
this is exactly the reason why MIW dont want to abolish death sentence, not that i support it though.Originally posted by hisoka:no lah its either kill him or make him do work then throw him outside.....
jail him we have to pay leh why you so mean to singaporeans?
Then none of us may be here to post. Can anyone be sure that when we travel someone might not be slipping some parcel of drug into our luggage and we then get prosecuted for death penalty. Can anyone honestly say we never break any law or such an incident might not happen to us?Originally posted by WiNtEr'SkiLL:anybody who broke the law no matter for what reason should be hanged![]()
I don't agree either, because I hold the view some people still deserve to die. But not this boy. Personally, it would be a very good idea to keep the death sentence, BUT abolish the 'mandatory' bit b4 the death sentence, to make it more flexible.Originally posted by mystiv:For this case, i would think that maybe a life-term imprisonment is better
But, i certainly do not agree with the part at the end of the article saying 'abolish death penalty'. for pretty obvious reasons..
i agree. we cannot abolish. but we can make it more flexible by doing away with the 'mandatory' part. In fact, we should have a rule that known drug lords can be arrested and excecuted even if they aren't carrying drugs. Hanging small fishes whose motivations weren't greed solves nothing.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Singapore is less than 2 hours from the Golden Triangle by flight, where most of this region's heroin and morphine come from.
