That's a horrible story, Austalia and the international courts are fighting to get him clemency but Singapore is not budging and is totally inflexible. Remember the 1994 caning and all the buzz around that? This is a HANGING (cruel, archaic, painful) for a small amount for a first-time drug offender from liberal democratic country!

Sorry I have no trouble with whats happening there, Singapore put these laws in place because they used to have a horrible drug problem there, its posted at nearly entrance point that the penalties for drug crimes is extremely heavy. this guy was smuggling heroin which is one of the more distructive drugs into the country, he's getting what he deserves.
