I hate to say this, but I'm veering close to SLAP's point of view.Furthermore, their nation will not be like Australia in terms of media uproar.They have much more important things to worry about than a convict on death row.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Why? Because of her connections with US? I seriously don't get it.
If we can jail the US kid, it is also possible for us to hang Israel citizens.
We might commute. -
I really don't get it. Can someone explain?

It is probably because country I played a big part in our nation building.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I really don't get it. Can someone explain? -
That and many other things pertaining to our basic survival and national security.Without them, we might not even have existed.Originally posted by Pitot:It is probably because country I played a big part in our nation building.
However, the Israelis are a tough bunch and they won't cry in huge amounts like the Aussies.We might also just hang the criminal in silence. -

I will retract my previous post.

you are wrong. they will hang anyone and everyone if the reasons are right.
-
You may be right, but who knows? Israel after all helped us. And majority of Singaporeans are Chinese. Chinese teachings DOESN'T stress on wang en fu yi. So it is quite unlikely we will hang Israel people, unless the crime is seriously very very very serious.Originally posted by dragg:you are wrong. they will hang anyone and everyone if the reasons are right.
If a Singapore judge ever dishes out a death sentence to Israel people, I think it will cause an uproar greater than the recent one. -
The uproar part is debatable.But I'd think we would not hang any Israeli without good cause.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:You may be right, but who knows? Israel after all helped us.

But I still say they are not like the Aussie media. -
Well, it's well known that the US top circles are somewhat controlled by strong Jewish body ( forgot the term). many policies are influence by these group. The Iraq war was partially fought for Israel (even some of US politician voice this concern), now the Iran issue too. There is an Oil pipe being planned to go from iraq to Israel, thru Syria. You also see the Syria being targeted by media conditioning and assassintion scandal (without much proof, so far only accusation and (unconfirmed and unreliable) sources/witness, a standard prelude to any arm conflict these days. Just to point out the US influence will also be pulled in, if a jew is to be hanged.
Anyway, LazerLordz is right, Israel is not a soft drug-inhaling society. But they will also kick up a hell of a fuss, with a american media thrown in full force, with the same kind of tactics (disinformation, bias and manuplilated) the Australian media employs. (The Australian actual learnt that from the AMerican MMS). If a jew was to be hanged, thou i'm not really sure what is their population stands on drug trafficking.
So, I'm not sure, how that the S'pore Govt will react, being faced with such a situation. I mean look at the follow up of 9/11, almost all facts related to the invasion of Iraq was faulty, yet they were able pycho the whole world into believing it.
Just my 2 cents
But I know, if Singapore govt were to give in and not hang that trafficker in question. I will be very vocal on the net, and mightinfluence my vote in the next election. -

Much as it's unpalatable, our national interests is tied in with a Republican administration up there in DC.Note the differing standards in how they perceive our government, from the Democrats and the Republicans. -
Well, we all saw what stunts the US media pulled on us in the case of Michael Fay. I'll be surprised if they don't try the same thing if we ever had to face the situation of a drug trafficker from Country I arrested on our soil. While I agree that the Bush administration is tougher on them now, they can still pretty much run free and kick up lots of dirt if need be.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Could we stand firm then?I'd say the US media will not pull any stunt on us if it impacts on US Military prepositioning ability in the Malaccan Straits.Most of the news organisations are rightist leaning, esp Fox Networks.The administration and the Pentagon has a much tighter rein on them than ever before.

And unfortunately, I'm not sure whether the MIW will have the confidence to stand firm this time. We did after all bend backwards slightly in the case Michael Fay. We cut his sentence from six strokes to four strokes.
Sure, it doesn't add up to a full acquittal, and all it means is that Fay has fewer scars on his a**. However, it does show that the powers-that-be in our administration can and does bend over at times. I believe we have more interests in Country I and the US than in Australia.... which, I fear, may leave an impact on how we dispense justice in this country. -
Oh..LazerLordz.. a private question.

Fay was caned under a Democrat controlled Congress and White House.That's one factor that is slightly different.Originally posted by fudgester:Well, we all saw what stunts the US media pulled on us in the case of Michael Fay.

Perhaps the reality today is that no nation ever has full control of herself.That's international politics for you.And nations look long-term, and never for short-term gains.
That's why the powers that be should never have treated the citizens differently and make such a huge gulf from domestic law and international legal engagement.
It's not an issue simple enough for all of us to argue, for we lack the knowledge required. -
