Singapore to hang first woman in nearly 20 years during executions set for this week: rights groups 

For more on this: sc.mp/gjys

don't break the law of the country. law is not a joke, it is a life and death

You are warned not to bring drugs into Singapore. If you still choose to, it is your choice. Don't blame anyone.

Imagine how many families that have been harmed by the drugs these drug smugglers brought in . Bringing death to other people but not wanting to pay the death penalty when caught 🙄 Don’t blame the law when you make poor life choices .

Indonesia and Singapore have one of the toughest law against drug trafficking. You traffick, you die, just remember that. Not even any of the high ranking officials nor president from any country can save you.

Where was the human rights groups when these drug runners were out there ruining lives?

Now if only we can do the same for human traffickers.

Most of South East Asia country give drug smugglers death penalty.

Look at all those youngsters protesting. LKY once said that at the end of the day decisions have got to be made by adults not teenagers

Why do some people defend drug dealers in the name of human rights? Don't they think about the rights of innocent people who become victims when these dealers operate? If you don't want to end up getting hanged for breaking anti-drug laws, then just don't sell drugs. It's as simple as that. Feel free to move to another country you think is more liberal and humane, like the USA, or something. Have you ever purchased a product due to its enticing promotion, even though you didn't actually need it? Unknowingly lured, you succumbed to the allure of the offer. This analogy holds true; if no dealers were offering drugs, there would be no buyers falling victim to its grasp. Nevertheless, criminal acts remain criminal acts. I believe no one would willingly accept the tragic loss of a family member due to drug consumption. The devastating consequences of drug abuse underscore the importance of addressing the root causes and discouraging any involvement with such harmful substances.

Most people are against capital punishment for drug trafficking but, after finding out that one of their children is a drug addict, these same people would want to see bodies of drug traffickers piled up sky high. Be rest assured

Don’t wanna be hang? Don’t do drugs! Simple!

ask the protestors to get out of singapore

Equal rights comes with equal treatments !

That’s why Singapore is so ahead . They are extremely strict with their law and order.

Please keep these laws strict so that evil doers will think thrice before coming ... I am from Malaysia but I really respect Singapore for its laws

If they wanted to sell drugs. Please sell in their own country! Singapore is not a place for drugs!!

As long as the guilty is truly guilty, this is simply justice

And that is why there are much less drug addicts walking the streets of Singapore. Because there are consequences in that country. But they should stay their death penalty if they can help arrest the ring leaders, the source of the poison.

What a wonderful country Singapore is, setting an example for the whole world to see.

Thank goodness some countries still punish criminals 👏🏻

Well done Singapore! Capital punishment should apply to those drug addicts and drug traffickers, this’s the only way to combat drug problems.

Now this is justice. Pretty sure crime rate will drop dramatically in the US if they reinstated public hanging, because all the repeat offenders will be gone.

The death penalty is a great deterrent to crime.

They must have not watched the remarkable speech by late LKY in respect of this issue. You know the punishment for such crime is death penalty, yet you still chose to do it. Then it is your decision to put your own life at risk knowing that you might get caught for commiting such crime. Your life is your responsibility. On the other hand, the result of such crime, if it is not handled properly, it might cause disastrous tragedy to lives of many. It is because the selfish ambition of one person, it impacts the lives of others.

1:11 These youngsters (and human rights activists) don't understand that a single Drug Pusher can easily destroy the lives of several families. Killing Drug Pusher is mercy. To human rights activists, tell you what: Do you know what is the situation in Libya, Syria, Iraq after the WEST destroyed their country? You ought to go and do your "Human Rights Activities" there!

Knowing there's a death penalty for drug trafficking in Singapore. Yet, still decides to do it anyway. Imagine there no death penalty. It would be rampant. Singapore is so successful for a reason. STRICT.

It's quite easy to avoid the death penalty. Just don't smuggle drugs. Is it really that hard?

We need this in America it's cheaper than sending them to prison for 20 yrs. to save money also & preventing overcrowded place

Seeing they only hanged 2 drug convict in these long years means the law is working right, don't change it

A Chinese national was murdered by a robber in Singapore. The robber was sentenced to death and rights group appealed for giving him a second chance? Was that Chinese laborer given a second chance? Is his family given a second chance? Like most migrant workers, he took a huge loan to pay the agent, left his family behind and came to Singapore to take up job Singaporeans shunned. Please don't say nobody forced him to come. Should your boss appreciate your contribution or what he thinks of you is your working for him is because of money; nobody forces you to work for him?

Well done well done. This is what's needed in America where people openly use drugs and cities are like zombie town. 1 drug dealer = tens of thousands destroyed families

Look at America, see how drugs can do to a country… respect Singapore for your strict laws ❤

Isn't that justified? Drugs harm entire families.

Sad but necessary. One to die but many saved from the drigs not reaching them.

We need this in the philippines

Deterrent is the best form of punishment yet these individuals still persists and take the risk to commit these crimes. For Spore the death penalty is a very serious matter and very conclusive evidence needs to be provided by the prosecutor than the judge will decide on the merits of the case and pass the sentence. Drugs are a bane and evil in any society and causes lots of crime and misery to the family and friends of the addicts it destroy society's fabric and increases crime rates.

America should adopt this policy - it would solve the drug problem within 12 months and save countless lives. Over 100,000 US drug overdose deaths in 2021 - and the Fentenyl crisis means this figure is heading to 200,000 annually.

A drug smuggler can destroy 100 families destroy lives of innocent peoples what about their lives??? An example must be set!

I hope drug dealers hear this and start trafficking business in UK as the criminal justice here is as hard as slap in the wrist. 😂😂😂

Imagine going from thailand to Singapore drinking a cannabis ice cream and they sentence you death penalty

How is it for people to defend drug dealer who had destroyed thousands of families due to these drug dealers , In the name of human rights . Rmb drugs are not cheap to begin with . I rmb what our leader mr LKY had said : drug dealers the head of selling drugs destroyed thousands of families . Giving them 10 -20yrs of hotel stay in prison ,Is actually a cheaper way to applaud them to our society to do another cycle of business as a drug dealer.

Much respect to Singapore for protecting its citizens from one of the biggest scourges of our times. If the penalty is too draconian for you, it's really simple: Go peddle drugs in someone else's country!

The death penalty didn't deter her.

Many countries envy Singapore for its Strict laws & orders - peace & harmony for its citizens 😊😊😊❤❤❤👍👍👍

Tried to get a front seat for this execution, nah all booked out

wow i didnt know theres a country that executes by hanging, that sounds like old times

Great Singapore.I hope Philippines do this also to eradicate drug lord syndicate and drug epidemic and eliminate all drug involvement from govt to public.

No sympathy for drug dealers.

I cannot find anywhere what saridewi djamani look like

They do have almost zero crime. Their process works.

And that's why Singapore is such a safe country. You mess around, You find out! 😂. Oh yeah and the beats in this hanging video is pretty dope as well .😅

Alcohol kills more people than all street drugs combined. It's legal in Singapore. Even DUI in Singapore is a fine and possible modest prison time.

They should start to do this in America, they will clean streets out pretty quickly, from all the trash and human pigs that made all that happen.

Human Rights defending drug traffickers should look at Los Angeles and San Francisco.Drug addicts,crime and homeless rampant and out of control.

Image the same law is adopted in the US, it would be a better place.

well done .Nothing more than drugs a slow killer of society

An excellent advertisement on the rule of law in Singapore. You reap what you sow. You have been warned. Take the risk. Pay for it!

What about if someone who got convicted actually got set up? Like someone who wants you dead planted drugs in your baggage and you can’t prove your innocence .

hanging, who says death penalty has to cost more than keeping violent criminals in jail for life. We need this in the US for violent criminals and corrupted politicians.

Everyone knows how strict Singapore’s laws are on drug trafficking. There is no excuse.

Why don't they do this in the United States??

This is what we need in America,

This should be a law in America.

If only they had this stance with child molesters and human traffickers.

So don't play play in Singapore

I am not too fond of the death penalty but in this case you must look into situation ethics. Think about the families who lose their children and loved ones to drug addiction every day. These drug traffickers are essentially profiting off of death, and the death penalty may well be seen as the only way that justice can be reached. Think about the drug epidemic which is ravaging the western world compared to a relatively safe Singapore

Funny how most of the opponents of death penalty are women with a lot of empathy, lenience, and tolerance. They aren’t fit to govern the country let alone have a say in this matter because they take not having drugs around them for granted. Well done Singapore for incorporating a simple yet effective solution to the spread of drugs 🎉

Yes, punish the criminals , not the innocent people

hanging/execution is not the problem, it's how long the court cases get dragged out...

These young protesters are ignorant, naive!!

No One in the World Dares to Challenge our ministers on Death Penalty. Case in point, Billionaire Sir Richie Mc Branson also declined accepting invitation to debate in sunny singapore.😅 How about if debate were to be held on International Waters ? On his super yatch or Jet?

Finally. A woman.

Law, Order, and Justice.

Is killing your prisoners justice?

Next Singapore execution politician couple scandal

Hang in there grandma !

Well at least it makes drugs in SEA so expensive and less accessible to the general public unlike those in some other part of the world like US = less individuals / families destroyed by drug

What you dont understand is that these are not drug dealer but they were force to do this because they or a family member probably owe money to gangsters...but since they were caught and so the Singapore government is actually doing the gangsters bidding by killing them for getting caught.

Well done.well done……

Respect the law in Singapore , why still taking risk when know about the strict law on drug?

The very fact that so many people are protesting against its use is a testament to just how effective it is as a deterrent

In america its slap on the wrist ...

I'm sorry what? Death by hanging for a drug related offense? Dafuq? o.O

Imagine you are traveling to Singapore and some enemy put pinch of power in to your pocket . thats it. .

What's there to protest? It's not like the law only came into place after they are caught...

stay firm singapor!!

Sounds justifiable.

There are more than 500 executions since 1991, there are only 13 female executions from 1991 which is 3% as compared to males which is 97%. Being a female and drug-free would be a great help in avoiding landing on death row.

i hope all the activist who support non death penalty will have their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters anbd children all become addicts themselves.. and see how much of an activitist and compassion they have for these people who peddle them and destroy lives of other

if they're actually guilty of those crimes then proper✌

The women chose the path themselves, there is ample warning before you come into Singapore. They took the gamble and lost...... Don't gamble if you cannot afford to loose.

Equality

Don't mind these westoids. I'm half Indonesian-Malaysian and I applaud Singapore's effort for combating drug trafficking

Teddy Minahasa was a Regional Police Chief in West Sumatera Indonesia , involved in 5 kilograms drug methamphetamine only to be sentenced to life imprisonment

Saridewi binte Djamani was a drug addict who have to resort to drug trafficking to feed her drug addiction. This is tragic and a waste of a life better lived. If I was Saridewi, I would gladly accept the execution, it would be an end to an extremely painful life. Life imprisonment is a living death. Long drop hanging is swift and humane, death is caused by the instantaneous fracture of the C2 or C3 cervical vertebrae. An afterlife or reincarnation would be preferable.

I love Singapore, but death sentence for only 20 grams of heroine? I would agree if it was 20 kg but 20g is not even a needle...

Execution for selling drugs? Using drugs? Lame

Using drugs is a poor choice (some also say addiction is an illness) but those who sell them are just murderer. I wish laws were as strict as there in our free and fun Western countries where too many lives are lost everyday to drugs.

Well it will definitely deter those who got caught to do it the second time.
