Cheesey74 6th Gear April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 2 hours ago, kobayashiGT said: Source: https://mothership.sg/2022/04/death-penalty-protest/ Hundreds reportedly gathered at Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park on Sunday (Apr. 3) to protest against the death penalty in Singapore. This came after Singapore hanged a convicted drug trafficker on Mar. 30, 2022, the first execution in the country since 2019. Additionally, death row convict Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam recently had his appeal dismissed, which sparked anger among some members of the public. Protesting against death penalty The organiser of the protest against the death penalty, which started at 5pm and lasted around two hours, reported over 400 people in attendance. Protestors held placards with varying signs, all urging the Singapore government to abolish the death penalty. The protestors also chanted slogans. Among those in attendance included Singaporean activists Kirsten Han and Jolovan Wham. Wham was the organiser for the event. Speakers' Corner was closed for two years According to The Straits Times, the Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park had been closed since April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As stated on the National Parks Board's (NParks') website, applications to hold events at the venue reopened on Mar. 23, 2022 after Singapore announced the gradual easing of Covid-19 restrictions. Applicants must ensure the size of the crowd does not exceed 950 people at a time, according to the application form hosted on the NParks' website. Speakers' Corner is the only place in Singapore where protests can legally be held. It is illegal for protests to be conducted anywhere else in Singapore without a police permit.

t0y0ta Supercharged April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 In USA, there are a lot of injustice where innocent are caught and passed off for crime culprits simply because the police there are lazy and also biases against certain race and social strata, so yes can understand the campaigns there to prevent killing the innocent framed. Here, not so much. And yes some terrible crimes really deserve to eliminate the threat to society permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 The law is correct. The implementation is crap. Most of the time, only mules are hung. Where are big fish? Where are the end-users? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 When evidence are strong and sentenced to "Hang", don't wait for years to hang them.... Wasting resources, time and money going through the processes of appealing and lastly to the President. Should hang 3 days later. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mits_jc 5th Gear April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 Y are there still many pinoy supporters of Duterte despite his stand (think: 🔪 ) on drug handlers no doubt many innocent end up dead due to mistaken identity / mis-info but to many pinoy tired of rampant drug abuse and its impact on society, all these outweigh the backlash from his death squads. at least in sg, these drug handlers / mules are given a trial yes, each one might have a sad back story, or reason why they did it but no one can say they r not aware of sg stance of death penalty (at worse case) for drug trafficking do anything you want but don't get caught if not..do the crime, serve the time 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSP415 Supersonic April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 Call a spade a spade. Idiots who are protesting death sentence is an idiot. To me. I dared to call them "names" because they have ignored the society at large and protested against something that helped deter larger amount of drugs in circulation, if without. There are worse name callings in this forum of drivers, rapists, miw, scammers. What makes this group of idiots so special? 😂😂😂😂 Rant is like that one. Dun just pick one and ignore all the other idiots. Stay safe Cheers 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford any compromise on this. The parent that killed the toddler and put in fridge for few years. The young man that escaped death penalty who killed his mum or granny while high in drugs. These are the two I can recall how drug alter the addict state of mind. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyGoing 2nd Gear April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 @kobayashiGT absolutely. let's not go down the slippery road of the west by being so soft on crime. in fact i think singapore's punishment is already too soft especially for drivers/rifers/e-bikers who seriously injure or worse kill innocent people. they should be treated under some form of culpable homicide because someone has dies as a result otherwise these people will continue to do what they did. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic April 5, 2022 Share April 5, 2022 Since they are taking such a hard line against "drugs", why not ban alcohol and tobacco too? Alcohol - probably more dangerous to health than marijuana overall. It causes so many knock on vices. Tobacco - you make others suffer your second hand smoke so how is that fair? Come on gahmen, be all-encompassing and even-handed. I support! 😁 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just too easy, I want them to really suffer Everyday my MIL visit them in their cell for the rest of their lives. They will be sorry they ever thought of doing something wrong. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
