I agree with 1, 2 and 6.
Disagree with 5.
As for 3, 4 & 7, present laws are already adequate, its the enforcement that is the problem, so no need to overkill. Very stupid of the govt.
One question though. How do you enforce no.6?
If you know the drug abuse law, you should know that no. 6 could be enforced.
Extracted from CNB:
Drug Consumption Outside Singapore
In July 1998, a new provision was made in the law to treat consumption of drugs outside Singapore by a citizen or permanent resident as if the offence took place in Singapore. Before this provision, offenders were able to defend themselves by claiming that they had consumed the drugs overseas. With the amendment, a Singapore Citizen or PR whose urine is tested positive for controlled drugs cannot claim consumption overseas as a defence.
