  .Write to this only MP in Aussie against a motion in Aussie Parliment to
  appeal to Sg government to pardon the man.
  
  He is Hon Mr Wilson Tuckey MP ,[email protected].
  
  I wrote to him:
  Dear The Hon Wilson Tuckey MP
  
  Sir,May I salute you for your courage to against the
  motion to save Nguyen Tuong Van from hanging in
  Singapore.
  
  I know it is how too easy just to follow the other MP
  to vote For the motion as as it is too politically
  correct to do so.
  
  But you did not.You know the damages of drugs .
  
  ''We would make Australian couriers the most
  treasuered
  commodity in drugs trafficking ...''as you said.
  
  You may suffer some votes from kind hearts,but there
  are many parents will support you for your courage to
  save many,especially the youths.
  
  From tims to tims, there are drugs abusers or
  traffickers caught in Singapore,including many
  Singaporeans ,despite the stiff penalty here.I would
  wonder the situation in your home country.
  
  Once again,may I salute you to do right thing,not
  politically correct things.''
  
  The news reported in STimes around 31.10.2005.

  Re:MR NGUYEN TUONG VAN,Date 31 October, 2005
  
  Database House Hansard
  1.is that we would make Australian couriers the most treasured commodity of the international drug trade if we were successful in this proposition.
  
  Opposition members interjecting—
  
  2.My second objection is that we are being called upon to show sympathy in this House when the young man concerned was found with an old-fashioned pound weight of no doubt high-grade heroin and had no sympathy for the young people who were going to consume that product, possibly resulting in their deaths. Please remember that this was in 2002, when young people were dying at a very considerable rate from overdosing on the quality of heroin that was being brought into this country at the time.
  
  3.We have a new demographic of dementia patients in Australia. Whilst the truly elderly are getting older before, fortunately, this terrible affliction strikes them, we now have people in their late 40s and early 50s moving into aged persons homes because they have fried their brains with the sorts of drugs that this man was trying to bring into our country. Consequently, I cannot support this motion.
  

  I ask that my name be recorded as the sole objector to this motion.
