Singapore’s Serious About Smuggling
Thursday, December 1st, 2005Just under two years ago, I was in Singapore and wrote this:
True, the arrivals form seemed a tad unsubtle in its boldfaced announcement of DEATH FOR DRUG TRAFFICKERS UNDER SINGAPORE LAW.
I remembered that arrival form today when I heard they executed a man for heroin smuggling.
It’s a weird little city-state, Singapore. Very friendly people, but a government that just does not fuck around.
