  • I don’t really like this take. The death penalty isn’t cultural and people who oppose it are free to vocalise it. Singaporean culture is great because it is a unique melting pot of many different cultures, the death penalty is a legal matter and isn’t drawn from the composite cultures of the people that live there.

    you can’t disagree with the results

    It’s the third hanging this week for drugs offenses so it would seem that the policy isn’t completely effective

    the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

    They may be willing to live with it, but i wouldn’t presume that they are in favour of the policy. Singapore is a one party state and rated a ‘flawed democracy’ in The Economist democracy index. Frankly, Singaporeans aren’t consulted on the matter.

    who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

    On a micro level, who the fuck are the authorities of Singapore to take another person’s life.
