    Challenging to criticize Singapore if you’re from somewhere with monthly massacres of school children.

          the article doesn’t say anything about the schoolkids POV on the dead traffickers or maybe you should just stay on topic

            This is probably a shock for you to learn, but on a public forum it’s possible to draw conclusions from any source and not just repeat the OPs post.

          I don’t see what schoolkids parents has to do with a government sanctioned execution of a cannabis trafficker.

        There is an active policy of not preventing cold massacres. Hope that clarifies the point.

          … and Singapore has an active policy of condoning and committing murder. That’s bad.

          I pray that clears things up for you.

          There is no official “active policy” at the national level that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial policy, that varies from one municipality to the next, and from one state to the next. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not an official national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

            Deaths arising from acts of omission can be prosecuted. Doesn’t work with Government given the Amendment arguments.

          There is no written policy at the national level that you speak of that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial, unwritten policy then that varies from one municipality to the next as well as from one state to another. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not a national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

      Not at all. Murder is murder regardless of the country.

      How could you possibly think that is challenging? Of course it should be criticized.
