    for the most part I agree, and I grok SG’s laws on free speech as a concession to too many religious folks bottled up in too small an area. ok.

    but.

    Death for marijuana? REALLY? Like… DEATH?

    That’s where it goes off the rails for me. deport somebody, put 'em in jail for a few years, sure, have your rules…

    and fuck, cocaine? opium? heroin etc? I guess if you really need to but the mary jane? naw man… just… naw.

    fan of the country, been for business, love the food, but won’t visit for personal travel because of this.

      I agree with you - hell, we fucked over our best athlete (Joseph Schooling) just for partaking overseas - nobody gets a pass.

        He’s not even “our” athlete. He was trained and brought up overseas. Just happened to be Singaporean by birth.
