Singapore hangs first woman in 19 years after she was convicted of trafficking 31 grams of heroin

Singapore conducted its first execution of a woman in 19 years on Friday and its second hanging this week for drug trafficking despite calls for the city-state to cease capital punishment for drug-related crimes.
Singapore hanging its weight on an antiquated, inhumane justice system while the world evolves towards rehabilitative models is downright disturbing. Death penalties for drug offenses are an archaic, blunt instrument to tackle a complex issue, punishing the vulnerable pawns rather than the kingpins of the trade.
What is it with sea and fear of drugs?
Nobody is forcing you to sell drugs in Singapore...
No one is forcing Singapore to execute those who the rest of the world views at petty criminals.
We’re not talking about drug kingpins here.
Nobody is forcing you to lack empathy and common sense.
