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’m against the death penalty in all cases . I also think all drugs should be legal , it will literally saves thousands of lives people could buy the drugs from a trusted source and not accidentally overdose . Making it illegal just makes it so you have to buy untested drugs from sketchy places . It doesn’t really matter how many people the police arrest there is always going to be someone there to replace them as long as someone is willing to o buy . But I guess the threat of death is a good reason not to do drugs …
