Singapore executioner wants out

executioner.jpgSingabloodypore said:

Semi-retired: Darshan Singh, Singapore's chief executioner, wants to quit, but suitable replacements are hard to find. Financial remuneration is low as the 73-year-old grandfather lives in a modest, government-owned apartment and chances of advancement may be difficult as the possibility of finding a replacement is rather difficult.

Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "It appears that there maybe a future vacancy about to open at Changi. All those tough talking commentators should apply as soon as possible before the death penalty is abolished."

wah! sieteocho is a person's name, meh?
Show me!
Scan in the IC and birth cert leh!

Maybe you can kao beh to your lao bei so that people wouldn't play arounf like this hor?

Did you grow up crying to your mommy everytime you get your ass kicked in the playground or in school ha?

Quick! Quick! Go kao beh to the editors to protect you!

M isn't me.

It's all right, man, just do whatever you want to do. You haven't made it in life until somebody wants you dead, so this is actually an honour.

Everybody knows that sieteocho isn't sieteochø.

Everybody knows that sieteocho is the real seksi matafaka whereas sieteochø's just a loser who doesn't even have an email, a web site, and I have reason to doubt he's any more than a computer program.

Everybody knows I need more traffic on my blog site.

And moreover everybody knows that sieteochø's just trying to suck up to me. I'm beginning to like this idolisation, actually.

I just have to snap my fingers and like an obedient dog he's going to spam every tomorrow entry in the next one week and write 10 to 20 off colour comments about me.

Well, then, [snap!]

Do it man! Nyeah nyeah nyeah....

No, you're not my fan.

But sieteochø is, and I can't help it if he has nothing better to do than to suck my dick.

I can't help it if his knickers get in a twist every time he sees my name and he has to go somewhere to jerk off.

I can't help if it my name triggers off a hard on he can't deal with and he's just got to write back.

For example, if I were to put myself down as 7-8, we wouldn't have that, right? Then where's the fun?

Stand! Sit! Roll over! Beg! Play dead!

I'm lovin' it, da-da-da-da-DAAAH....

The fact that you wrote so much only means that he is getting to you. Quite amusing watching how riled up you get because of this impersonator. I think the editors are having a laugh also. Maybe it is really your high-handed way that attract such attention?

Shhhhh!

Just watch what's going to happen over the next few weeks.

Regarding style, I change for no one. It doesn't matter if 10 people or 100 people are going to flame me.

Regarding providing the tomorrow editors with entertainment, I can assure you that at least one of them is also providing me with a lot of entertainment. So it's only fair.

I have agree with the other comments, a t-shirt would have been a wonderful idea.

Wah not bad what lei.. can be CEO mah -- Chief Executioner Officer!!

Maybe TT Durai can apply hor?! hahahaha

Umm...I think the matter at hand should be less about what he looks like or what he is (not) wearing, and more about what he does for our country, innit?

Should we blame him for carrying out his job as an chief executioner? I think not, no more than we should blame the ordinary U.S. soldier for illegally invading Iraq under false pretences of searching for WMDs. It is the system, or rather the man responsible behind the system, that should be held accountable.

If I am offered the job, as his replacement, I would probably walk out of the place immediately.

I am wondering. If really NO ONE takes over his job, are all the convicts on the death row going to be like delayed being hanged, or just ambolish hanging in Singapore altogether (which is highly unlikely to happen).

I really cannot imagine me killing people everyday (though it is set by the law). I admire his courage and appreciate his "service" to the nation all these years.

Here's an idea: why don't we ask those government ministers who support capital punishment to rotate among themselves the position of executioner? It should be a walk in the park for them since they feel that capital punishment is justified.

In my opinion, I would accept caning. I wouldn't accept hanging.

Caning gives punishment, yet a second chance is also given.

Hanging gives punishment, but I'll see you with some cow and horse faced creatures.

Journalists I spoke with in Singapore said that while some executions are turned into spectacles, many others are conducted quietly, with little or no reportage.

Whatever, DEATH PENALTY IS ABSOLUTELY INHUMANE!!! SHOULD BE ABOLISHED!!!
