    They know how to worsen the problem when the drug traffickers now start weaponizing and killing. Since instead of a few years in jail, they now get hanged, why bother with not committing violent crimes, you get killed anyway.

      That’s a nice theory, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the case here. Their violent crime rates are wayyyy below most other countries. The numbers speak for themselves. I’m not supporting execution, just saying that whatever they’re doing is working.

      Not defending execution here, but is that the case in Singapore?
