Shanmugam Murugesu

Does Singapore needs to reform its policy on the death penalty? Hell yes. Is he the best person to be the poster boy for the ills of the system? No. He is guilty of the crime, there’s no frame-up, there’s no mistaken identity here. He doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. True, he has young kids who will practically be orphans if he is executed, but he should’ve thought of that before he agreed to smuggle the drugs.

fyi Ivan, he was carrying about 1kg of weed, which makes for about US$20,000 (assuming it was decent herb) in agricultural product, which he would've paid anywhere from US$6,000 - US$10,000 for.
