Singapore hangs third person for drug offences in little over a week

Singapore has been ranked as the happiest countries in Asia and in the top 25 happiest in the entire world.

I find it rather hypocritical of people who have never been there, denounce the country but the residence who live there apparently are very happy.

Also, I’d be willing to bet that many of the people speaking ill of Singapore are also the type who would say you shouldn’t judge other cultures. Well that’s exactly what you are doing now.

I’ve never been there and I have little interest in going, but the people there have chosen those draconian laws and with them, they have incredibly low crime and drug use. So you might not agree with their laws, but you can’t disagree with the results, and the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

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

I bet the people who were executed weren’t happy with it
Well, they were stupid enough to do something drug related in Singapore. Which is known to be less than nice about all things drugs.
You don’t know their circumstance. Gun to your head you would do stupid shit too.
In fact, one of the people executed was a drug mule, ie someone who was probably in serious debt and was being blackmailed to do it.
If you are stupid enough to get into circumstances where someone puts a gun to a head in the first place. Like living in the USA or something.
TIL an accident of birth means you’re stupid.
