I don't give a damn about the guy's sob story. It's not that I'm some heartless guttersnipe who doesn't feel a thing about a man who was impoverished and not well-educated, complete with a complicated family background. I get it.
But was there no other way out? Really?
Was it really worth the risk, taking drugs to a place notorious for drug crackdowns like Singapore?
Was he ignorant to the fact Singapore punishes this offense by death?
My condolences to Yong Vui Kong's family and friends, but I have to agree with Singapore's Law Minister Mr K. Shanmugam.
“Yong Vui Kong is young. But if we say ‘We let you go’, what is the signal we are sending?”I understand that Singapore has it's own issues regarding nationality and what not, but the core message to the kids out there.
DON'T GET INVOLVED IN DRUG TRAFFICKING&
DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID YOU KNOW YOU WILL REGRET.
