I agree with Dr. Vivian here. As an Indonesian, the drug problems here are really severe. It can lead to poverty, human suffering, and death. I agree with Singapore that huge drug traffickers must be put to death not just as a way to redeem their crime, but also as a deterrance for future would-be drug traffickers. People and social justice warriors always emphasize on human rights, but they forget human responsibilities. They have the responsibility to protect and tolerate other people's human rights, including the rights to live and to be free from torture. If you sell drugs, you have failed your human responsibility and your human rights could be waived as a result. It is simple logic. You have the right to get an A for your test, but you also have the responsibility to do the test properly and not cheat. If you fail to do your responsibility, you won't get an A.

However despite how absurd they may sound, they still have a rather large viewership, now this would not have been the case had the gov taken steps to regulate the free media. Then a thought arises from such actions, is the gov not impeding upon human rights, the right to free speech? No matter how irresponsible the ideas communicated may sound? The belief in free speech is one that stems from the belief that the media separates irresponsible ideas from the responsible and rewards the latter, in the case of america, this has proven hopelessly wrong.

Yet the mandate got weaker at 61percent.

Without adding the other statistics of ruinous effects on lives, hopes and futures of those killed or consequential victims of drug-related offences, the countries that 'fight for human life or human rights' simply forget the ones who are victims. Our FM succinctly pointed it is in limited circumstances and that the death penalty is a statute in Singapore for major heinous crimes to humanity. He's also stated that no nation can glorify its termination of human life without clear judicial process with an independent, fair, untainted judiciary system. Societies of the west subscribed to justice and human rights yet, it deliberately blindsides the victims such that offenders are owed rights to live when evidence proves the act/s, intentions, and deeds, are to destroy other people? That's plain bigotry. How can these countries be ignorant or even justify the human rights of the offenders or drug traffickers, who knowingly, with meditated and selfish intention of gains to wealth, is willing to transport, smuggle (an act that is conspired to cheat or violate ) dangerous drugs, that will potentially destroy many many lives in varying degrees. This potential, is where the right of the offenders ceases to have equal grounding. The waiver of the offenders' rights are fully justified. I don't think it needs a debate of human rights, to justify one still having rights to destroy others, is a travesty of justice. Proponents of such thinking must be incredulously stupid or downright narcissistic. Singapore has no natural resources, it needs to be astutely aware of the mores of corruption and liberalistic ideals to collide into our social environments and wreck lives, for that fact anywhere, its people will have serious consequences if there's inadequate compunction to deal with the menace addressed. Global citizens don't care about human rights, they only believe in self justification so everybody else' life is not and never as important as theirs, especially if it becomes contentious with the law, it evicts itself, self qualifying that his life is equally paramount? But then he is allowed, condoned and lightly banished for misdeeds? So, who's life is important and sacred, I submit it is I. I am a Singapore citizen and I trust my government, not any of that liberalistic humbug.

am i the only one who read that as "a singaporean foreign minister is set to be on the death penalty"....?

Respect for governments which are willing to make the right decisions, even if they are tough and unpopular... Many governments do not support death penalty because they are okay as long as blood is not on their hands. If left alone, murderers and drug traffickers destroy lives and communities. Refusing to do anything about these problems is just pathetic.

That seating arrangement. Completely opposite policy on drugs.

leave a smuggler, a manufacterer alive, they create an addict. create an addict, and an entire family built with love and trust is destroyed.

Drastic oversimplification. Thats not how drugs, drug trafficking, nor addiction works.

Western worlds are too proud of their own cultures by overlooked these types of things. Maybe start learning from developed Asian countries and see how well they govern and the citizen are civilized (a “dream” that westerners sought for)

I value the strict laws in Singapore regarding murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking,and gun ban by civilians. It had made Singapore so safe. Our children can travel to schools on their own safely. Police policies are fair.No discrimination against some races.

I agree with the Singaporean Foreign ministers position.

The death penalties should remains as it is. Drugs are a nuisance in Singapore for so many years. I remembered even kids as young as 12 years old have easy access to drugs then because they were everywhere. I knew because my next door neighbour then ( when I was a kid in the 80s) was a drug pushers and I saw people of different creeds, ages and backgrounds knocked on my neighbour's door to buy drugs like they bought sweets at a Mamak store!

I see that Norway was seated beside the Singapore Foreign Minister. Norway the country that awards the peace prize was the country that sent war planes over Libya dropping 598 bombs on muslim civilians, women and children. They even did the world a 'favour' by bombing a home for kids with Downs Syndrome killing everybody inside. The Western media was quiet. The then Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was awarded the post as Nato chief after that. He said then that the Norwegian pilots got much needed training(to kill women and children?)

Singapore and one third of China's population were addicted to opium grown on British Opium Plantations in India. You have to realize the loss of income and productivity by the British addicting one third of China's and Singapores populations destroyed their economies and the tight knit social structures of Asian culture and families. The British did it to control Asian nations and sap their economies and that's why the death penalty is common through out Aisia for dealers. After China tried to stop British opium use the British invaded and seized Hong Kong by military force and to this very day the British Royal Family is still selling drugs and ruining peoples lives.

Anyone, any country, any organisation and any government who propose to remove the death penalty for drug offenders must be closely linked with drug suppliers.

I’m pretty much libertarian on drug use… but not at all blind to what drugs can and have done to certain people(s). I’m not against the death penalty either when it is able to be proven flat out that the punishable crime was committed. I’m all for a life for a life when innocent life is taken in a criminal fashion, and if these types of harsher “penalties”’l were instituted, but with stringent controls, criminals wouldn’t get out of prison to be repeat offenders, while other (besides the ones “needing” of that ultimate punishment), would get the message and probably not offend to begin with. Singapore is correct, yet government authority over life and death must be held in check very closely. Interesting topic of discussion, but not one for those holier than though types to have. Reality is seldom what they think it is.

@danielc2701

Yes, I think what happens in this kind of arguments is that people mix up the severity of the punishment with the problem of "due process", not helped in that killing itself is a very emotive topic. If there is proof beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt, then that is law and punishment and not just random killing. If this happens in a place that is famous for kangaroo courts for example, I won't be as comfortable espousing it, though in the end it is up to the people within the country to change and not by outside forces.

The ang moh countries love to champion for human rights and stir **** in other countries. Death penalty for serious drug offences is appropriate given the massive harm that these drugs deal to the victims and their families.

I will accepy an autocrat with a philosophical mindset than politicians who fight for powers every couple of years just to stay in power.

I agree with Singapore. The death penalty is necessary. Corporal punishment is a great detterant against crime. In SA we have the highest crime rate. When we had the death penalty and corporal punishment we had the lowest crime rate. The numbers speak for themselves.

Death penalty is most effective because the perpetrator will not be able to do it again ! It will also send a message to future perpetrators that they will meet with the same fate if they commit the same crime !
