The reason is he broke a law that carries the possible penalty of death and got caught. Maybe his death will deter others from doing the same thing. He knew what the penalty could be. How many lives could have been ruined by using the heroin that he was smuggling? Fortunately we'll never know.Originally posted by iveco:Sigh, another life goes to waste for no reason.![]()
Erhmm how personal did they want to be? Send down our ambassador to tell them, " I'm sorry, your son broke the law and he is going to be hanged?"Originally posted by LazerLordz:Hands for Nguyen on display
"By letter, by registered letter delivered to her house ... it's incredibly impersonal," said Nguyen's Australian lawyer Lex Lasry, QC, said.
"I must say my overwhelming emotion at the moment, apart from being distressed by this, I'm angry.
"I'm angry that they (the Singapore government) do such a thing in such an impersonal way and I'm angry that they won't see the injustice."

Aiyah, those activist are irritatingOriginally posted by oxford mushroom:Australians are plainly arrogant and silly to think that they can make Singapore change course by making a big fuss. Singapore is not Indonesia....the last thing the Singapore government wants to do is to give the impression that they yield to foreign pressure.
By trying to pressure Singapore, Australians have left Singapore with absolutely no choice but to hang him. Even the President will be hard pressed to grant clemency in case we appear to be weak.
come on many do it just for the publicity.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Australians are plainly arrogant and silly to think that they can make Singapore change course by making a big fuss.

Active global citzenry..if the Singaporeans in Australia disagree, why don't they form a protest group and petition the Australian government to drop all appeals rather than just sitting on their bums.Originally posted by dragg:come on many do it just for the publicity.

It is not adviseable to do this. I would rather the heartlanders back home put pressure on the MIW for a referendum on capital punishment.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Active global citzenry..if the Singaporeans in Australia disagree, why don't they form a protest group and petition the Australian government to drop all appeals rather than just sitting on their bums.
