Singapore executed a 45-year-old citizen on Friday (July 28) for drug trafficking which was the first execution of a woman by the city-state in nearly 20 years, officials stated.
"The capital sentence of death imposed on Saridewi Binte Djamani was carried out on 28 July 2023," said the Central Narcotics Bureau, in a statement.
The woman was convicted of trafficking "not less than 30.72 grams" of heroin, which is more than twice the volume that paves the way for the death penalty in Singapore.
No they are not they use it for drug trafficking and murder cases. That doesn’t mean I approve of it, I deplore it.
They also jail people for chewing a gum, your argument is invalid.
That’s not the death penalty and they didn’t make an argument. They were stating a fact.
That was half-joke, half-reminder of how fucked up the country is. But whatever.
IMO as an outsider Singapore is less fucked up than America. It’s got some rough edges for sure though lol.
Not sure where you got this from, but this isn’t true. Chewing gum is NOT illegal in Singapore; you can keep them for your own consumption. You just cannot sell chewing gum in Singapore.
