There's plenty of examples of black folks being put away for life for having $20 worth of weed on them. Putting a person in prison for life is essentially a death sentence if nobody is willing to intervene on their behalf and the only reason any of them have been reversed recently is because some states have legalized it.

No one is arguing that you can't face death for trafficking level amounts in Singapore, it's not mandatory though...and in practice that's not usually what happens unless it harder drugs or a ton. Horrifically long jail sentences are common though if you get caught with a lot or even medium a lot of drugs in Singapore.

I mean again, I am responding to your statement that death in a mandatory sentence for marijuana over 500g.
That statement is false.
If you're asking my opinion on your opinion that Singapore's drug laws are harsher than I would have in place if I were god-emperor of Singapore, they are. ...but I am not even a citizen of Singapore, much less god-emperor or any kind of emperor.
In point of fact, I disagree with the death penalty all together. A bit because I feel it's overly harsh, but primarily because no system of justice is perfect enough to guarantee that a person put to death is absolutely guilty...and plenty of people have been set free after being convicted falsely.
What I will say is that in my experience Singapore is super f****** clear that they don't tolerate drugs. As a visitor, it's pretty f****** hard to miss, there are literally signs all over the immigration hall, right as you come down the escalators from the terminal.
I choose to respect the laws there, even if I think they are too harsh. However, apart from the severity of the punishment, Singapore has a highly developed legal system that is not arbitrary. So even if I disagree, it's not some barbarous unfair system.

You lack empathy. Maritime SEA (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines) has "backwards" drug law cause they're literally sit on the worlds most important strait, The Strait of Malacca where 25% of global maritime trade runs through it.
Easing on such laws will literally turn one of the 17.000 islands in Indonesia (thousands of them uninhabited) into a major secret drug producer possibly rivaling Mexican cartel. This is the same reason why Prostitution are heavily constrained or straight up banned. One of those islands could be turned into a human trafficking operation on a region wider than US.

There’s weak evidence that the death penalty actually deters drug trafficking because organized crime rings use couriers that are just low level street criminals that are threatened and coerced into delivering for them, killing some guy that the organization doesn’t even care about isn’t going to stop the drugs and they’ll just keep finding more people to do it for them
Also SEA isn’t any different than the other countries that sit on major trade routes like Panama Canal or Suez Canal, yet they don’t execute people for drug crimes
Opposing the death penalty isn’t about moral superiority or showing lack of empathy because executing someone for a non-violent crime crosses a line

Angin_MeranaMay 3, 2026
Clearly you don't understand how these laws work. Ring leaders got the death penalty, couriers usually got long prison sentences.
>Also SEA isn’t any different than the other countries that sit on major trade routes like Panama Canal or Suez Canal, yet they don’t execute people for drug crimes
Uh huh now try compare drug related crimes, or any crimes in general to Maritime SEA. Cartel's consumer is mainly US, imagine Maritime SEAs cartel's consumer being China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

Anti-semitic bigotry. It’s mentioned in the linked article that was published before this update. This is following a trend of rising anti-semitic sentiments in Singapore, which is very worrying because we are a multiracial country.

I’m so tired. Why must you people always drag on about Singapore being unlike your own countries and repeat misinformation? We do not disallow anti-Israel criticism.

Not really, the laws aren't fair to us as common folk in Singapore. I've recently had an incident where my son passed on in a public hospital. Doctors lied and gaslit us continuously on his treatment and things that went on on his last day of life. We spoke to a lawyer and unfortunately the law doesn't favour us. It protects the doctors in public healthcare and they make it terribly hard to prove negligence. You have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get overseas doctors to assess and agree with your findings before you can even open the case. The laws are made to look like the government is blameless and the common folk is out of line for blaming the government.

I’m not trying to be mean, but people keep acting like the world revolves around Palestine & Israel and the genocide. Sometimes a racist comment is just a racist comment.
It’s a semi-authoritarian country with very strict rules. The same “world revolves around Gaza” mentality came into play when Singapore fined some pro Palestine protesters, which set off people on twitter, except they fine EVERYONE who does unsanctioned protests.

Everybody did and we still don't know what the slur is and neither do you.
Also you just described the person u are replying to as a "putz" and that is a slur against Jews.

Originally was called judenhass (literally Jew hate) but then became antisemitism as propogated by Wilhelm marr in 1879 (this predating Nazism but not the groundwork of Nazi racial theory which began in the late 1700s) [see source for roots of the word here](https://books.google.com/books?id=-dmH7FjxassC&pg=PA27) [and here ](https://books.google.com.au/books?id=IaloAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA21&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false) so that it could describe Jew hatred outside of the context of religious motives. Thus while it is said it was used as a more scientific way of explaining antisemitism it would be more accurate to say that it was about how to justify continuing hatred against Jews in an increasingly secularised world whereby they were not fully emerged in Nazi "scientific" /s racial theory but we're too "modern" to subscribe to the blood libels of deicide (killing of god) as propogated by Christianity.

Nazis came up with the term "anti semitic" to make Jew hatred sound like it's some sort of high intelligence thing
