WITH regard to Singapore's decision to hang an Australian citizen because he was carrying drugs, please consider for a moment the following questions:
Question 1: Who suffers after Dec 2 until the day that they die?
Answer: His mother, other members of his family and his friends, not the young man himself.
Question 2: Who else is seriously offended by Singapore's actions?
Answer: Every citizen of Australia.
Question 3: How do you think Singapore and its culture are regarded by the civilised world?
Answer: I will let you ponder that one yourself.

What's wrong with these people?? Seriously, just as every house has its own rules, every country has its own laws. It's black and white, no grey area. It is written clearly on EVERY single arrival immigration card that Drug Trafficking in Singapore carries the DEATH sentence. It is written loud and clear. The offender has obviously chose to ignore it. Well, ignore at your own peril, as the saying goes. You have to pay for not abiding by the laws of the land on which you stand... It's simple as that. Loud and clear. Now which part of this don't you understand??
Oh, by the way, I do know citizens of Australia who actually feel that Singapore has the right in punishing someone who have broken the laws in Singapore, whether foreign citizen or not.
