Damn I know Singapore have the capital punishment, they give you those small pieces of paper right before you land saying they'll execute you if they catch you trafficking drugs, but hanging? I always assume it would be a lethal injection or something.

Drugs need to come into the country to do those, Singapore don't want that.

Well that's dark. Are bullets considered a drug as well?

The Opium Wars left a lasting trauma. I don’t blame them for being extra harsh. Smugglers going into Singapore know what they are up against.

Trump's dream I guess? Oh no, true, once the 25% tarif will be imposed to Canada and Mexico, magically all the meth and drug dealers/makers in USA will disappear!

Dictators usually like mind altering drugs since they keep the population complacent.
