just decided why the f#@k don't i put in my 2 bobs worth aswell!!
Ok let it be said that what he did onl;y has one word DUMB!! He died this morning for do a DUMB thing!! Now you have to ask:
If it were my brother (i don't have one, i have a sister but same thing) would i do what he did to get him out of debt??
Personally, i would not have done it how he did, if i knew the laws of singapore, which he would have (because of the 420 odd people who received the same punishment before him) you would have to be DUMB to do it like that. There had to be a better way of paying back his brothers debt.
Should he have received the death penalty??
A tricky one, but the law is the law and wherever you go you have to respect the law (if someone has a sign out front of their house saying "take off your shoes", you take off your shoes!!, just a smaller hypertheotical) I can't blame singapore for what they did they gave a drug smuggler the penalty that is stated in their law that you would recieve if you breached that law. The reason they gave him the death penalty is because singapores tax payers don't want to pay for a foreign drug smuggler to stay in their country.
As for being hung goes well it's medieval stuff, it is a cruel way to go. Perhaps they need to look at a better way of executing criminals but in singapore that is what you get when you receive the death penalty!
Today a young adult died because he was a) - doing what he could to get his brother out of trouble, b) not respecting the law of another country and c) just plainly doing a DUMB act, we've all done them just not to this extreme. If there is any light on the topic it is that hopefully those people who "do" drugs or traffic drugs into another country will now know (even more so than before because of the media coverage this got) that if you do the crime you will do the time and in singapore you don't do time, you are executed
